About the publication

Editorial standards

New York Hours aims to publish accurate, independent and useful journalism about New York culture and city life. Reporting should tell readers what is known, how it is known and, when relevant, what remains uncertain.

Reporting

Writers are expected to verify names, dates, prices, addresses, schedules and other factual claims before publication. Firsthand observation should be distinguished from information supplied by institutions, publicists, official websites and other sources.

Previews and reviews

Previews describe forthcoming exhibitions, performances, books and openings using reporting and information available before an event. Reviews offer critical assessments grounded in firsthand attendance, reading or experience. News reports may draw on announcements and independently verified information; they must not imply that a writer witnessed an event when they did not. We identify the nature of our coverage clearly and attribute information supplied by venues, publishers and publicists.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made independently. Complimentary admission, press access, preview invitations or other accommodations do not guarantee coverage or favorable treatment. Material conflicts of interest should be disclosed to the editor before assignment or publication.

Attribution

New York Hours credits reporting, photography and ideas to their sources. Quotations should reflect what a source actually said and should not be altered in ways that change meaning.

Corrections

We correct substantive factual errors promptly and transparently. To flag a possible error, use the contact form and include “Correction” in the subject line.
