Transparency is one of the core values of MWPNews and its associated podcasts and channels, including Thirty Minute Reviews, Beware of Spoilers, Exploring Hyperspace Lanes, The Backlog Files, and MWPNews Gaming.
This page discloses financial interests, complimentary access, affiliate relationships, and first-party projects that could create—or could reasonably be perceived to create—a conflict of interest.

Financial Holdings
As a general policy, full-time MWPNews staff members do not directly invest in companies whose primary business involves the production or distribution of film, television, streaming entertainment, video games, books, comics, or other media regularly covered by MWPNews.
Broadly diversified investment funds may contain companies operating in industries covered by MWPNews as part of their underlying holdings. Because those individual investments are selected by the fund rather than by MWPNews staff, diversified funds are disclosed separately.
The following are Editor-in-Chief Adam Taylor's current investment holdings. Position sizes vary and may include fractional shares. Cash and cash-equivalent positions are not included.

Review Copies and Complimentary Access
MWPNews may receive advance screeners, press-screening invitations, video game review codes, books, physical media, promotional materials, or other complimentary products or access from studios, publishers, distributors, developers, public-relations representatives, manufacturers, or other companies.
When complimentary access or a review copy is provided in connection with coverage, that relationship will be disclosed in the corresponding article, review, podcast episode description, video, or other appropriate location.
Receiving complimentary access or a review copy does not guarantee coverage, positive coverage, a particular review score, or any other favorable treatment.
Editorial opinions remain those of the individual writer, host, or reviewer.
Affiliate Links
Some links on MWPNews may be affiliate links. If a reader makes a qualifying purchase through one of these links, MWPNews may receive a commission at no additional cost to the reader.
Affiliate relationships do not determine what MWPNews covers and do not influence reviews, scores, recommendations, or editorial conclusions.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Content containing affiliate links will include an appropriate disclosure where those links appear when applicable.
Published Works and First-Party Projects
MWPNews may feature or promote books and other creative projects written, created, or produced by members of the MWPNews team.
Editor-in-Chief Adam Taylor writes and publishes books associated with Multiple World Productions and has a direct financial interest in the sale of those works.
Coverage of these projects—including announcements, excerpts, previews, release information, behind-the-scenes material, interviews, or other promotional features—should be considered first-party coverage rather than independent editorial review.
MWPNews will not present its own commercially released projects as independent reviews. When an article or other piece of content concerns a project in which MWPNews staff have a direct financial or creative interest, that relationship will be disclosed as appropriate.
Updates to This Page
Financial positions, affiliate relationships, and other potential conflicts may change over time. MWPNews will periodically update this page to reflect material changes to these relationships.
Questions about these disclosures may be directed to MWPNews through the site's contact information.
