Policy

Editorial Policy

Music Is Mental Media is committed to music-first, mental-health-aware editorial coverage that is honest, clear, respectful, and transparent.

Editorial independence

Our editorial decisions are made at the discretion of Music Is Mental Media. Playlist placement, interviews, articles, reviews, research features, and live coverage are not guaranteed by submission, payment, personal relationships, or promotional requests.

Playlist consideration

Artists may submit music for playlist consideration. Submission does not guarantee placement. We curate playlists based on editorial fit, quality, mood, listener experience, and overall playlist direction.

Sponsored content

We may publish sponsored features, advertisements, partner content, or paid promotional campaigns. Sponsored content will be clearly identified where applicable.

Music and health content

Music & Health and Science of Sound articles are research-aware, but they are not medical advice. We are not a therapy provider, medical provider, or crisis service.

Research sourcing

We aim to link to credible sources such as peer-reviewed journals, public health organizations, medical databases, universities, and legitimate research institutions.

Photo usage

Photography is for editorial use unless otherwise stated. Commercial use, promotional use, resale, or republication requires written permission.

Corrections

If you believe something needs correction, contact hello@musicismentalmedia.com with the article title, link, and correction request.

AI usage

We may use digital tools, including AI-assisted tools, to support research, drafting, editing, formatting, and workflow. Final editorial decisions remain under human review.
