Editorial Policy

Sowika aims to be useful, plain-spoken and honest about what it knows. This page explains how our articles are made.

How we research

Articles are desk-researched: we read official, regulator, standards, manufacturer and documentation sources and summarise them. Each article lists its sources at the end. We aim to link to pages we have actually opened and to prefer primary sources over commentary. Where we could not confirm something, we say so or leave it out.

What we do not claim

• We have not tested the products or services mentioned, and we do not publish scores, rankings or “best of” claims based on testing.
• We do not name experts, interviewees or customers, and do not present invented quotes or stories. Examples, where used, are hypothetical and described as such.
• We do not quote prices, promotions or availability for specific products. Check current terms with the seller.
• Australian consumer-rights references point to the relevant government or regulator page; they are general information, not legal advice.

Authorship

Content is published under the Sowika name by MASS MEDIA AGENCY LTD. We do not invent individual authors or credentials.

Independence

Editorial content in the magazine is written without payment from, or agreement with, the businesses it mentions, and does not currently include affiliate links. Advertising, if any, is bought separately and does not change what the articles say.

Advertorials and sponsored content

MASS MEDIA AGENCY LTD may publish separate promotional pages on the same domain. These will be labelled clearly (for example “Advertorial” or “Sponsored”) at the top, and any commercial relationship disclosed near the start. They are not part of the editorial magazine. See the Affiliate Disclosure.

Images

Images on Sowika are editorial illustrations. Many are created with generative image tools rather than photographed. They illustrate themes, are not photographs of actual products, homes, people or events, and are never presented as customer results, testimonials, product tests or evidence.

Corrections

If you spot an error, email [email protected] with the article name, the statement and, if you can, a source. We review such reports and correct confirmed errors in the article. Our Contact page has other details. We do not guarantee a response time.
