About
What Magzinez is
A daily film and television magazine, and an honest account of how it is made.
Magzinez covers the business and gossip of film and television: the deals, the casting, the numbers, the campaigns, and the arguments behind them. We publish every day. We are independent and privately owned.
How this site is produced
We should be straightforward about this, because you deserve to know and because pretending otherwise would be dishonest.
Articles on Magzinez are drafted with an AI assistant working to a fixed editorial style guide, and published on a schedule. Editorial responsibility sits with the editor, who sets what the site covers, reviews what it publishes, answers for it when it is wrong, and can be reached at hello@magzinez.com.
Our bylines are desk names for beats, not separate journalists, and the masthead page says so too.
Every draft is then checked automatically against our written style rules before it can be published, and is rejected if it fails them. Those rules cover attribution, specificity, and the habits of prose that make writing sound machine-made. The check is mechanical; the judgement is not.
Some articles are illustrated with stills from the films and series they discuss. Those images belong to their rights holders, who are credited beneath each one. If you hold the rights to an image on this site and would like it removed, email hello@magzinez.com and we will take it down promptly.
Where no suitable still exists, we use a real photograph published under a free licence, credited to the photographer with the licence named. We no longer illustrate articles with generated images.
Sourcing
We do not break news. We report on, contextualise and argue with reporting from the established trade press, and we link to them. Where a story originated with one outlet, we say so and we name them.
Every article lists the reporting it draws on at the foot of the page. If a claim is unconfirmed, we say it is unconfirmed. If two outlets disagree, we say that too.
What we will not publish
- Invented quotes, invented sources, or invented figures.
- Allegations about a person's conduct, health, sexuality, finances or private life that are not established, published fact, and even then only with clear attribution.
- Stories built on a single anonymous social media post.
- AI-generated images presented as photographs of real events or real people.
- Paid coverage disguised as editorial.
Corrections
We will get things wrong. When we do, we want to fix it quickly and say that we did. If you have found an error, email hello@magzinez.com with the URL and what is wrong, and we will look at it. Corrections are made on the article itself with a note.
If you are the subject of a piece and believe it is inaccurate or unfair, use the same address and mark it "urgent". We would rather hear from you than from your lawyer, and we will act on a legitimate complaint the same day.
Images
Artwork is supplied through the TMDB API. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. Film and television stills remain the property of their rights holders and are used here for the purposes of news reporting and criticism. If you hold rights to an image used here and want it removed, email us and we will take it down.
How we make money
Through advertising displayed on the site. Advertisers have no involvement in what we cover or what we say. We do not accept payment for coverage and we do not run affiliate links inside editorial copy. If that ever changes, this page changes first.
