Editorial independence

DailyVision is funded entirely through voluntary contributions. No national broadcaster, record label, management company, delegation, or political body has any editorial influence over our content.

We do not accept payment, gifts, press accreditation, or other benefits in exchange for favourable coverage. If we receive complimentary access to an event, press materials, or early releases from a delegation or broadcaster, we will disclose this clearly within the relevant article.

Our contributors write under their own names or established pseudonyms. They are encouraged to disclose personal connections, for example, if a contributor is a national fan club officer for a competing country, that relationship should be noted when they write about that country.

Accuracy & corrections

We strive to verify all factual claims before publication, including results, dates, broadcaster decisions, lyric content, staging details, and biographical information about artists. Where information is unconfirmed at the time of publication, we say so explicitly.

Corrections policy

When we make a factual error, we correct it promptly and transparently. Corrections are noted at the top of the relevant article with the date and nature of the change. We do not silently delete or rewrite content to remove errors without acknowledgement. Significant corrections are noted on our social media channels.

Opinion and analysis

Opinion pieces, reviews, and analyses are clearly labelled as such. We encourage a range of perspectives, including minority or dissenting views. Opinion content does not represent the official position of DailyVision.

Fairness & impartiality

We aim to cover all participating countries with equal respect and attention, regardless of their size, voting history, or commercial profile. Smaller or less prominent delegations deserve the same quality of coverage as the most-tipped favourites.

We do not use our platform to campaign for or against any entry, artist, or country in a way that would compromise our readers' ability to form their own views. Where we offer predictions or rankings, they are clearly identified as personal opinions or fan aggregations—not editorial endorsements.

We will cover controversy and criticism where it is newsworthy and substantiated, and we are committed to giving all parties a fair opportunity to respond before publication, where circumstances allow.

Geopolitical sensitivities

Eurovision is a contest in which countries participate, and that inevitably means it intersects with international politics, conflicts, and deeply held views about national identity, sovereignty, and human rights. DailyVision does not ignore this reality.

We approach coverage of politically sensitive participations with care, providing factual context without taking sides in underlying political disputes. Our readership spans many countries and holds a wide range of views.

The table below sets out our specific editorial approach to countries where participation has been, or continues to be, a subject of significant public debate within the Eurovision community.

Community standards

DailyVision hosts a comment section, forums, and fan polls. We want these spaces to be welcoming for all Eurovision fans, regardless of country, background, age, gender identity, sexuality, or political views.

What we do not permit

• Hate speech targeting any individual or group on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or age.
• Personal attacks on artists, performers, or delegation members, including contestants in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
• Coordinated harassment campaigns targeting specific countries, entries, or individuals.
• Disinformation presented as fact, including fabricated voting data, false claims about results, or invented quotes attributed to real people.
• Content that sexualises any artist, and in particular any minor or young person participating in JESC.
• Spam, promotional content, or commercial solicitations unrelated to Eurovision.

Moderation

Community content is moderated by a small volunteer team. We endeavour to review flagged content promptly, but we cannot guarantee immediate action. We reserve the right to remove content, issue warnings, or permanently ban users who repeatedly violate these standards.

Fan participation & voting

DailyVision has historically offered a range of interactive features, including song ratings, prediction tools, discussion threads, and fan voting tied to both ESC and JESC.

Eurovision Song Contest voting

Fan voting and ratings for ESC entries remain available on the site. These are informal and non-binding, intended as a tool for community discussion. Results are presented as fan sentiment, not predictive data, and are clearly distinguished from official contest outcomes.

Junior Eurovision voting — updated policy

Please see Section 7 for our updated policy on JESC fan voting, which came into effect on 17 March 2026.

Junior Eurovision Song Contest: updated approach

Why we made this change

The Junior Eurovision Song Contest is a competition for children and young people, typically aged between 9 and 14. We have concluded that operating a public fan voting and ranking system for child performers is not consistent with the kind of environment we want to create around the contest.

Fan voting systems, even well-intentioned ones, can inadvertently create a framework in which children are ranked, judged, and compared in ways that attract significant online scrutiny. We have seen in other fan communities how competitive online environments around child performers can generate unwanted pressure and a dynamic that prioritises competitive outcomes over the celebratory spirit of the contest.

This change is part of a deliberate editorial strategy built around four values:

• Celebration over competition. JESC exists to give young performers a positive, formative experience. Our coverage should reinforce that spirit, not amplify competitive pressure.
• Inclusivity. We want our JESC coverage to be welcoming to all young participants, not to generate hierarchies or focal points for negative fan sentiment.
• Safeguarding. Removing ranking and voting tools reduces the risk of our platform directing concentrated online attention, positive or negative, at individual child performers.
• Fun. Junior Eurovision is, at its heart, a joyful event. Our coverage should feel that way too.

What remains available

Removing fan voting does not reduce the depth or enthusiasm of our JESC coverage. The following will continue:

• Full editorial coverage of all JESC entries, including song previews, staging notes, and result reports.
• Artist profiles and interview content where made available by delegations.
• Community discussion threads, with strict enforcement of our standards around respectful engagement with young performers.
• Historical results and archive content.
• Coverage of the official JESC results, televote, and jury processes as reported by the EBU and host broadcaster.

Feedback

We recognise that some members of our community enjoyed the fan voting feature and may disagree with this decision. We welcome feedback. Please contact us at the address listed in Section 10. We will read all responses and consider them in future reviews of this policy.

Safeguarding & young people

Junior Eurovision features child and young performers prominently. We take our responsibilities regarding the welfare of minors extremely seriously.

• We do not publish personal information about JESC contestants beyond what has been officially released by their delegation or the EBU, including school, hometown, or family details not in the official press pack.
• We do not use images of JESC contestants in contexts unrelated to their official participation.
• Any sexualised, demeaning, or otherwise inappropriate content relating to JESC contestants will be removed immediately and, where appropriate, reported to relevant authorities.
• Contributors who produce or facilitate inappropriate content relating to minors will be permanently banned from the platform.
• We actively discourage our community from seeking out or sharing unofficial social media profiles, personal contact information, or non-competition content relating to JESC performers.

Sources & attribution

We cite our sources. News stories, results, and factual claims are linked to original sources wherever possible. Where we rely on information from delegations, broadcasters, or press releases, we say so.

We do not reproduce copyrighted material, including official broadcast footage, audio recordings, or press photography, without permission. We use official press imagery provided by delegations and the EBU, and credit photographers and agencies as required.

Translations of non-English content are our own working translations unless otherwise stated. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy, but acknowledge that nuance can be lost in translation.

Contact & accountability

We are accountable to our readers. If you believe we have published something inaccurate, unfair, or in breach of these principles, we want to hear from you.

We aim to respond to all editorial correspondence within five working days. Complaints about content will be considered by an editor not involved in the original article.
