Editorial Policies

(adapted from the Indiana University Alumni Association)

• This magazine shall make every effort to include news of interest of Morris dancing in the Western Hemisphere.
• This magazine shall exert due diligence to ensure that the material in its pages is free of plagiarism, that all facts and statements are true, and that the material does not infringe upon any copyright or proprietary right. The magazine recognizes its responsibility to promptly acknowledge and correct factual errors.
• In order for responsibility to be assigned appropriately, the magazine adheres to the standard that the editorial board has authority over the editorial content, words, and pictures that appear in the publication.
  Letters to the editor are encouraged, but the editorial board may edit or reject such contributions for reasons of taste, accuracy, relevance, or space. Letters must be relevant to the magazine or Morris dancing in general. Opinions are those of the letter writer and do not necessarily reflect the position of the American Morris Newsletter.
• Photographs in the magazine that purport to depict reality must be genuine. Except for the standard practices of cropping, the content of the photograph cannot be altered. Nor can a photograph be manipulated in ways other than those necessary for clear and accurate reproduction. If a photograph is altered in ways other than these, it must be labeled a "photo illustration."
• The magazine shall reject pressures from advertisers to influence its coverage and clearly distinguish advertising from editorial copy. The magazine reserves the right to reject advertisements it deems in conflict with its mission or those that fall outside generally accepted standards of good taste.
