The Screen Lantern aims to be clear, fair, and careful about what a screen work shows and what we infer from it. Our writing should help readers see the reasoning, not ask them to take a verdict on trust.
Accuracy and interpretation
We check names, titles, credits, and other factual details before publication, and take care to separate verifiable information from interpretation. When a point depends on a particular version or release, we say so where relevant. We avoid presenting speculation about a work or its makers as established fact.
Independence
Editorial choices are made for their relevance to readers and the publication’s subject. A commercial relationship does not guarantee coverage, a favourable view, or editorial approval.
Corrections
Readers may send a correction through the Contact page. We review reported errors and amend published material when warranted, making the change clear when it meaningfully affects the piece.
Partners and illustrations
Material created through a paid or other commercial partnership is identified as such near the relevant content. Illustrations may be AI-generated; when an illustration is AI-generated, it is labelled accordingly and is not presented as a documentary image.
