How links are chosen for NPTW
NPTW website includes links to both internal (NPTW) and external (non-NPTW) websites. We select links that are editorially relevant to the content they are linking from and are suitable for the likely audience.
These links are included for a number of reasons, including:
-for further relevant information or other key source material
-for background information
-for useful practical information
-for entertainment or enjoyment
-for further informed comment
We do not link to external sites in return for cash, services or any
other consideration in kind.
We link to sites purely on editorial merit. These will most often be
free to access, but users may sometimes be asked to register or
subscribe before viewing content.
The NPTW homepage does not accept submissions or requests. The homepage
team selects links and evaluates websites on the basis of editorial
relevance.
Links to external websites
External links are selected and reviewed when the page is published.
However, NPTW is not responsible for the content of external websites.
This is because:
-NPTW does not produce them or maintain/update them
-NPTW cannot change them
-they can be changed without NPTW knowledge or agreement.
Some of our external links may be to websites which also offer
commercial services, such as online purchases.
The inclusion of a link to an external website from NPTW should not be
understood to be an endorsement of that website or the site's owners (or
their products/services).
Links to user generated material
Some of the content we link to on both NPTW sites and external ones is
generated by members of the public (messageboards and photo-sharing
sites for example). The views expressed are those of the public and
unless specifically stated are not those of the NPTW. If you consider
this content to be in breach of the house rules as indicated on the
website, please alert the moderators or site owners on the sites where
the material appears.
