Cheezburger Editorial Guidelines

Mission

Cheezburger is committed to providing its audience with entertaining content covering today’s culture and trends. Our expert staff of editors and writers conduct a rigorous process of fact-checking and editing, making sure the quality of our content meets our and our audience's high standards. We conduct regular editorial meetings to discuss and assess content strategy and make any effort to address and reply to our readers' feedback.

Editorial Independence and Process

Cheezburger does not offer any paid content. All of our content is organic and original and doesn’t have any affiliation with advertisers.

Accuracy and Fact-Checking

Cheezburger staff review and fact-check content thoroughly. We are careful to cite only reliable sources and guide all of our team members on how to maintain this process.

Transparency

Sources are clearly cited with direct links (when available). All editors are clearly identified on article pages, and all editorial staff have individual author pages.

Social Media Use

Our team uses social media responsibly to promote content and engage with the audience. We clearly distinguish between personal and professional social media use and always avoid sharing unverified information on social media platforms.

AI Policy

Cheezburger writers and editors do not use any AI technology in written content on the site, nor in its video content. Every single piece of content that we produce is created, edited, and finalized by a human being; there are no machines and no AI creating content at Cheezburger.
