Editorial policies

Fact Checking Policy

Attraction Numérique editors must be precise in the choice of words they use for their texts, their titles, and their publications made on social media. They must be aware of the importance of words and act responsibly at all times. In doing so, editors must verify the information they collect. This includes identifying information such as names and positions, but also statements and factual accounts. Editors conduct their own fact-checking using their judgment, guided by Attraction Numérique’s code of ethics.

Correction policy

When an Attraction Numérique editor notices an error in a text, it is his or her duty to immediately make the necessary correction. For minor typos, grammatical and factual errors, just correct everything and there is no need to indicate the change. In the case of errors of fact or in the identification of a person, an erratum may be published to ensure that everything is corrected.
