Editorial, The Disabled Traveler
The Disabled Traveler is written and edited in-house. Access is described in specifics rather than labels - the number of steps, the door width, whether the lift reaches the platform, whether the accessible room is the one with the bath. Where we have not verified something, the page says it is unverified rather than repeating the operator's claim. Access claims are checked against the operator, the venue and, where they exist, national accessibility registers - and the date of checking is stated, because lifts break and stay broken. Where something has not been verified, the page says so rather than repeating a claim we cannot stand behind.
Editorial standards
- No paid placements. We do not accept payment for a placement, a ranking or a favourable review. Where a link earns a commission, the page carrying it says so.
- No untested claims. We do not say we have tried something we have not. Prices and plan details supplied by a provider are labelled as indicative rather than presented as our own findings.
- No page for the sake of a keyword. A destination gets a page when there is something specific to say about it. That is why the site is small.
- Corrections are made in public. A factual fix is applied to the page and the update date changes with it.
