Verification & Fact-Checking Policy

Published November 11, 2025
Runway TV LLC — Hollywood, California

At RUNWAY® MAGAZINE, accuracy is non-negotiable. Founded in 1989 by Vincent Midnight and led by Editor-in-Chief Julia Perry, we uphold the highest journalistic standards across hourly updates, live fashion-week coverage, and AI-generated insights.

OUR FACT-CHECKING PROCESS

A Rigorous Multi-Stage Verification

1

Research & Sourcing

Writers must provide primary sources — official brand statements, press releases, verified social accounts, direct interviews, or on-site reporting. Runway AI flags potential inconsistencies for human review.

2

Editorial Review

The Managing Editor and section leads (Fashion, Beauty, Entertainment) verify claims against multiple credible sources.

3

Fact-Checking Team

Dedicated fact-checkers cross-reference:

  • Designer and collection details
  • Prices, availability, and product specs
  • Quotes and attributions
  • Historical facts and statistics
4

Final Approval

Editor-in-Chief Julia Perry signs off on all published content.

STANDARDS FOR SOURCES

Three Tiers of Sourcing

PREFERRED

Direct from brands, CFDA, Fédération de la Haute Couture, or accredited journalists.

ACCEPTED WITH CAUTION

Reputable media (Vogue, WWD, BoF) — always independently verified.

NEVER USED ALONE

Anonymous tips, unverified social media, or single-source rumors.

AI CONTENT VERIFICATION

Human-Reviewed, Always

Runway AI generates mood boards and trend forecasts but never writes articles. All AI outputs are human-reviewed and sourced.

CORRECTIONS POLICY

Errors Corrected Immediately

COMMITMENT TO INDEPENDENCE

No Advertiser Influences Our Fact-Checking

No advertiser or partner influences fact-checking. Sponsored content is clearly labeled and fact-checked to the same standard. We welcome scrutiny. Questions? Contact [email protected].
