We at the Outerhaven Productions consider ourselves journalists in the fields of gaming, anime, and technology. Although journalism has an unwritten code of ethics, the writers of this site will strive to hold ourselves to a standard befitting you, our audience.
We conduct interviews, review games, technology, and anime, gather news, and communicate with our readers. We do not, under any circumstances, have personal relationships, friendships, or other relationships with developers, public relations staff, or publishers. We strive to conduct ourselves with professionalism that befits what we strive to be, as do they.
As we said previously, we DO NOT get paid to write for The Outerhaven. Nor do we receive or take any kickbacks or donations in order to pitch or advertise ANYTHING! We are still journalists in the purest definition of the word. We will hold ourselves to a journalistic ethos because we are lovers of the world of gaming, technology, comics/mangas, and anime.
