Editorial Guidelines

Our Editorial Standards

BTS World Tour is committed to delivering 100% accurate, non-clickbait news for the global ARMY community. These editorial guidelines outline the standards we follow across all published content on this website.

1. Fact-Checking & Verification

Every article published on BTS World Tour must be verified against official sources before publication. Our approved primary sources include:

• BigHit Music / HYBE official press releases and announcements
• Weverse official notices and artist community posts
• Official BTS social media accounts (X/Twitter, Instagram)
• Verified ticketing platform announcements (Ticketmaster, AXS, SeatGeek)
• Official venue and stadium management press statements

We never rely on unverified fan accounts, anonymous tips, or social media rumors as sole sources for any article. All claims must have at least one official source link.

2. Transparency & Labeling

We maintain strict labeling standards throughout our content:

• "Confirmed"  Only used when an official announcement exists
• "Expected" / "Rumored"  Clearly labeled when information is anticipated but not officially confirmed
• "Predicted"  Used for our own analysis and projections (e.g., setlist predictions)
• "Updated"  All articles display their last-updated date prominently

3. Corrections Policy

We believe in correcting mistakes publicly and swiftly. When an error is identified in any published content:

• The correction is made within 24 hours of discovery
• A visible correction notice is added at the top of the affected article
• The original error is documented for accountability
• Major corrections are announced on our social media channels

4. Independence & Disclosure

BTS World Tour is an independent fan-run publication. We are not officially affiliated with HYBE, BigHit Music, or any BTS members. We clearly disclose this on every page of the website. Any sponsored content or affiliate links (if applicable) will always be clearly labeled as such.

5. Content Quality Standards

• All articles are reviewed by at least one editor before publication
• We prioritize readability and accessibility in our writing
• Content is structured with clear headings and organized hierarchically
• Images and media are properly credited and described with alt text
• We avoid sensationalist headlines and clickbait tactics

6. Translation Standards

Our content is available in 18 languages. Translations are reviewed by native speakers where possible. Machine translations are supplemented with human review to ensure accuracy of critical details such as dates, venues, and ticket prices.
