Editorial Guidelines
We take a lot of pride in the quality of our content here at Lifewire. While we cover hundreds of different topics, they all have one thing in common: readers looking for tech information they can trust. Our writers create high-quality, original, accurate, expert content that is free of ethical concerns, bias, conflicts, or misinformation.
All of our content is professionally edited before publishing to ensure compliance with our strict standards. Our experienced editors check for readability, formatting, spelling and grammar, photo and screenshot quality, inclusive language and imagery, and much more.
Our news pieces range from breaking news to in-depth and timely features. All are written by experienced journalists in the technology space and then promptly fact-checked (more on that below). We’re diligent about linking to our sources, never trick you with clickbait headlines, and get to the gist right away.
Our product reviews are independent and based on research and product testing — if you visit links within our content, we may receive commissions from your purchases, but we never receive any compensation or consideration for the content of our recommendations. Learn more about our product review process here.
Our how-to guides and other supportive content are written, and continually updated, by experienced tech educators and published authors. We follow strict style guides we’ve developed over the last 20 years to make sure every process, no matter how technical, is as easy as possible to follow. Learn more about our how-to process here.

Accuracy and Corrections
The accuracy of our verified information and news articles is core to every Dotdash Meredith brand, including Lifewire. So too is our commitment to accountability to our readers and transparency about our accuracy and corrections practices.
Our rich library of how-to content is routinely updated and fact-checked to ensure ongoing publication of accurate, complete, relevant, and up-to-date useful information. Following our rigorous and systematic updating and verification process, articles in our content library are date-stamped to indicate to readers that the information is complete and accurate. News articles often cover a distinct event in time and are not part of our routine update process.
At Lifewire, we are committed to telling readers when an error has appeared, and to correcting it. When we discover a significant error of fact we will correct the article as quickly as possible and append a correction note. All corrections will be clearly labeled, dated, and include information about what was corrected.
We welcome our readers’ participation in our ongoing commitment to accuracy and fact-checking. If you believe we have published a factual error in any of our content, please let us know and we will investigate and take appropriate corrective and/or updating measures. To report a possible error of fact, please email us at feedback@lifewire.com and let us know.
Fact Checkers
Lifewire’s team of experienced fact checkers provides a critical layer of review for our news content to ensure content integrity.
This group of professionals is selected and vetted for journalistic and subject matter expertise. They are tasked with researching all statements of fact to ensure that the facts and technical information in our news articles are accurate and comprehensive and statistics are properly sourced and up to date.
If we are meaningfully correcting a news article, whether part of our fact checking process or not, we simultaneously publish a correction at the bottom of the article that explains details of the change.
Technology Review Board
We believe it’s critical that our instructional and other supportive content is as accurate as possible. We believe a great way to do this is to have our how-to and related content reviewed by a dedicated team of specialists that we call our Technology Review Board.
We are the first and, last we checked, only tech site to use a Technology Review Board. Sure, it’s extra work for us, but it keeps our readers up-to-date and confident in our ability to provide the information they need, so we’re happy to go the extra mile.

Diversity and Inclusion
Lifewire is the “Tech for Humans” tech site and that means all humans. We cannot be silent about the injustices, hate, discrimination, and fear that many in our communities are facing. We have to do our part to fight systemic racism.
As a large publisher of technology content, we can use our position to elevate the voices of those who struggle to be listened to. We can highlight people doing things in the technology space that decrease disparities like the Digital Divide. As an employer, we can work to further diversify our teams. And we can do a lot more than that.

Dell. Don’t get me wrong, I do love my Dell also. But, they’re just not as smart and efficient as you. Their help was like 34 steps long. I got 2 steps into yours, and yes, that’s right: I was cured.  Thanks so much!”
