Our Editorial Review Process
iFastFwd Media follows 3 main principles while reviewing and accepting
to publish your content:
1. Editorial efforts and reviewing of the press release information must embrace
diversity.
2. The submitted content must be high quality, factual and focused and adhere to
the strictest editorial policies. (Our editors are trained to follow our strict
guidelines. There are no exceptions to this rule)
3. The availability and openess of public scrutiny must be present to allow
measures of quality improvement in the review process.
The iFastFwd.com editorial review process follows a Two-Step review
process.
Step 1 - Press release submissions are reviewed by the Executive Editor who
performs the initial read and review.
Step 2 - If necessary the Executive Editor personally forwards the press release
submission one of the staff editors. They continue reviewing the varying
technical and/or factual matters of the submitted content.
After these steps have concluded the press release submission proceeds and if no
other issues arise the release continues to live publication.
iFastFwd Media will work closely with authors regarding any revision or
clarifications regarding their press releases.
