PinkNews.co.uk aims to become the premier gay news outlet in the UK and beyond. It is therefore important for us to make clear our editorial policy and our responsibilities to both readers and those featured in the news.

1)Political stance

PinkNews.co.uk is non-political although we are, unsurprisingly, pro-gay. This is reflected the tone that we use to describe homophobic politicians and the reasons we may appear to write positively about a pro-gay political figure.

PinkNews.co.uk will not endorse any political party at elections. However, we may endorse individual candidates regardless of party based on their stance on gay rights issues. Importantly, articles that express these endorsements will be separated from our main news area, and will be pre-fixed with "comment" clearly defining it as commentary and not pure facts.

2)Religious viewpoints

PinkNews.co.uk respects the rights of people of all religions and none. We do not hold any bias in favour of one particular religious group or another.

However, we are limited to who will co-operate with us in relation to particular news stories and features. For this reason, it is likely that we will include more quotes from religious leaders in the liberal tradition rather than those who belong to orthodox communities.

3)Right of reply

We offer an unreserved right of reply to all people referred to in news stories. In the event that we have made an error, these are corrected as soon as we are notified of mistakes.

If you believe that an article is in breach of one of the above policies, then you should immediately contact the news editor in the first instance by emailing news@pinknews.co.uk.

If you are unsatisfied with his response, you may refer the matter in writing to our Managing Director, Benjamin Cohen or our Chairman Andrew Millet at PinkNews, Pheonix Yard, 65 Kings Cross Road, London WC1X 9LW

Other frequently asked questions (FAQ)

4)How do you decide which stories to cover?

We cover stories we believe to be of interest to a primarily gay UK audience. We will cover events and issues that are only marginally of relevance to gay people such as the Conservative or Liberal Democrat leadership elections, whilst at the same time covering a high profile trial relating to an anti-gay hate crime. All are relevant and if a story passes the office "I'd find that interesting" test, we will spend the time to research and write an article on it.

5)Are you a charity or a business?

We are a business but we believe that we are community based social enterprise. We provide a quality news service, free at the point of use to the LGBT community. Our primary concern is to report facts, not to report on stories because advertisers want us to.

6)I have a great gay product/ service, will you write about it?

Unless it fits into the news agenda, then no. We do not offer free public relations to private companies but if we feel the product/ service merits an article, we may link to your website for a fee.

7)Do you offer grants to charities/ pressure groups?

We wish to be non-political so PinkNews.co.uk will not directly donate or give grants to pressure groups. We do offer in kind support to charities.
