The Cover Issue is a fashion magazine. Editors decide what is published. ERA, our editorial AI assistant, may research, outline, or draft. It does not publish.

Standards

Stories should be sourced, dated, and honest about what is known. We do not invent quotes, statistics, or eyewitness detail. If a piece is a rewrite of reported work, we name the outlets we drew from.

AI involvement

When ERA assists a story, the byline says so. Human editors review drafts before they go live. Unpublished drafts and previews are not offered to search engines.

Corrections

If we get a fact wrong, we correct the story and keep the correction on the page. Write the desk if something does not hold.

Sponsored work

The magazine does not run ads or sponsored copy in this version of the site. If that changes, it will be labeled.
