Editorial guidelines
These guidelines describe how Dead Culture articles are produced, verified and published. The goal: full transparency on what you read.
Our editorial process
Every day, an AI agent (based on Gemini, Google) monitors premium genre sources (Deadline, Variety, IGN, Bloody Disgusting, Allociné, etc.) and drafts a first version of articles. Each article is then supervised by the editorial team (Stéphane Auer) before publication. AI is an efficiency tool; editorial choices, critical ratings, magazine direction and final validation remain human.
Sources
We only publish information sourced from recognized premium industry media. Any information whose source cannot be verified is not published. Each article explicitly cites its original source at the bottom of the page, with a direct link.
Anti-hallucination
Articles generated by our agent are systematically filtered on a confidence score ≥ 90% and cross-checked with factual verification (Google Search). No unconfirmed information is published. No director name, casting or date is invented. When in doubt, we don't publish.
Ratings and rankings
Dead Culture ratings are out of 10, based on our own editorial evaluation (never on IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes averages, which are displayed separately for reference). A bad rating remains a bad rating even if we earn a commission through an affiliate link. See our affiliate policy for details.
Corrections
If you spot a factual error in one of our articles, email contact@dead-culture.com. We correct quickly and flag major changes at the bottom of the article concerned.
Affiliation and independence
Our business model relies on Amazon Associates affiliate links. This revenue source does not influence our reviews or rankings. All purchase links are identifiable (rel="sponsored" + clear label + visible disclosure).
