Role and responsibility

The Editorial Desk is the institutional byline of an in-house team made up of several members of the SlamArtist.com stunt and action-production team. It prepares sourced reporting and analysis, checks source records, separates fact from interpretation, reviews rights and connected relationships, and maintains material updates and corrections.

The byline names the in-house team accountable for the reporting, source review, rights checks, updates and corrections. It does not imply that every team member worked on every article. SlamArtist.com is the publisher and operator, and Ferdi Fischer provides editorial supervision.

Accountability

Questions, evidence and correction requests can be sent to info@stunt.blog. No submission is published automatically.
