Editorial Standards

Established in 2022 and maintaining complete independence, Fashion Brands on Sale stands as a leading authority on Australian culture. While we don’t extensively cover parliamentary and court proceedings, our focus lies in exploring business, culture, and the fundamental aspects of Australian society that shape our identity.

We approach this responsibility with the utmost seriousness, adhering to professional journalistic standards. Each Fashion Brands on Sale story is crafted through original writing and reporting, subject to scrutiny by an editor, and further reviewed by an in-house sub-editor. Our practices align with the standards set by the Australian Press Council:

Accuracy and Clarity

  1. Ensure that factual material in news reports is accurate, not misleading, and easily distinguishable from opinion.
  2. Provide corrections or take remedial action in cases of significantly inaccurate or misleading published material.

Fairness and Balance

  1. Present factual material with reasonable fairness and balance, avoiding expressions of opinion based on significantly inaccurate facts.
  2. Offer a fair opportunity for a reply when material adversely refers to a person, addressing possible breaches of General Principle 3.

Privacy and Avoidance of Harm

  1. Avoid intruding on a person’s reasonable expectations of privacy unless it is sufficiently in the public interest.
  2. Avoid causing or contributing to substantial offense, distress, or prejudice unless it is sufficiently in the public interest.

Integrity and Transparency

  1. Avoid publishing material gathered by deceptive or unfair means unless it is sufficiently in the public interest.
  2. Ensure conflicts of interest are avoided or adequately disclosed, preventing them from influencing published material.

Branded Content

Fashion Brands on Sale is sustained by advertising, including display/banner advertising and branded content. This involves collaborating with brands or businesses to produce articles, and we selectively engage with brands that we believe will interest our readers. Branded content is clearly labeled with the relevant business’s logo and “produced in partnership with…” at the top and bottom of the page. Social media posts featuring brands adhere to platform terms.

A clear separation exists between the editorial and branded content sides of the business, each with distinct staff and editors.
