Editorial Standards

Cannes Tribune is a newspaper, not a marketing channel. These standards bind every article we publish: every piece carries a newsroom byline, stated sources, and real photography of named subjects.

Written by the newsroom, signed by its journalists

Every article is published under the byline of one of our reporters, listed on our Authors page. These are the working journalists behind Cannes Tribune. The publication stands behind every piece under these standards, including its corrections policy. We do not publish anonymous articles and we do not grant anonymity to sources; if a claim cannot be attributed, it does not appear.

No invented material

We never invent facts, quotations, interviews, figures, prices, results, or hands-on impressions. If a fact cannot be verified, we leave it out or say plainly that it is unknown. Statements by institutions and descriptions by third parties are attributed to their source.

Verification

Factual claims are traced to named, checkable sources. For local news we apply the two-source rule. Public figures come from official documents, council records, or reputable reporting, and we say which. When two credible sources disagree, we say so and explain the figure we report. Source manifests are kept internally for verification; they are not published as bibliographies.

Real photography

Photographs of named places, people, events, and venues are real photographs, credited to their makers and published under applicable rights. A photograph never depicts a subject it does not actually show, and captions say what the image shows. We do not present generated imagery as documentary photography of a real subject.

Independence

Editorial and commercial content are separate. Access to places, events, and information does not purchase coverage, and any material commercial relationship is disclosed in the article. Paid content, when it exists, is labelled as such and never appears as news.

Corrections

When we err, we correct openly. See our corrections policy.
