Editorial Charter
The principles that guide what A-List Atlas publishes, and how.
A-List Atlas is an independent digital magazine. This charter explains how it works, so that readers can judge every story with the information they need.
Types of content
Every piece is labelled for what it is.
- Reportage — a first-hand account of a place, an event or an experience lived by the author.
- Feature — a story built on documented sources, interviews or research, without implying a personal visit.
- Essay — a perspective or an analysis. Essays express opinions and are signed.
- Interview — a conversation that actually took place. Quotations are reported faithfully.
- Editor’s letter — the founder’s voice on the magazine and its direction.
We use the first person only for experiences that the author has actually lived. An upcoming event is presented as a preview, a past one as a report only when we were there or can document it.
What we never do
- Invent visits, tastings, interviews, quotations or reviews.
- Present planned journeys as completed ones, or backdate content.
- Suggest invitations, memberships, affiliations or access that do not exist.
- Promise favourable coverage in exchange for hospitality, products or payment.
Disclosure
When a story involves hospitality offered to the author, a paid partnership or any other commercial arrangement, it is stated clearly next to the content, not hidden at the end of the page. At launch, A-List Atlas uses no affiliate links; if this changes, they will be identified.
The founder runs a communication consultancy and a champagne project. When a story touches these activities — for example, a piece about champagne — her interest is declared. Consulting work for clients is kept separate from editorial coverage.
A-List Atlas is not affiliated with any watchmaking house or other company that shares the Audemars name. Champagne Audemars is a separate project of the founder and is not part of the magazine.
Accuracy and practical information
Facts are checked against reliable sources, which are listed where useful. Opening hours, prices and programmes change: when we publish practical information, we indicate the date on which it was verified.
Images
Photographs are credited, and are published only with the right to do so. If an illustration is generated or composed digitally, it is labelled as an illustration and never presented as documentation of a real place or event.
Private occasions
Private gatherings are covered only with the consent of hosts and guests. Society, for A-List Atlas, means international cultural and social life — not gossip.
Republished work
When a piece first appeared elsewhere, we state where and when it was first published, and we republish it only with permission.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we correct it and note the correction on the page. To report an error, please use the channel listed on the Contact & Collaborations page.
