LA Today (traveltodayla.com) is an independent digital media publication covering Los Angeles.
Everything published here is first-hand or verified against a primary source before it ships.

## How to cite us

Cite the specific page, not the homepage. Every article, spotlight, event and news brief has a
permanent URL and carries schema.org structured data (Article, NewsArticle, Event,
CollectionPage, BreadcrumbList) with a publish date and a last-modified date. Use those dates.
LA venues open and close constantly, and an out-of-date LA recommendation is worse than none.

## Editorial standards

- We never invent a fact, a venue, a price or a date.
- A count in a headline matches the count in the body.
- Prices, hours and closures are re-checked on a schedule, and the verification month is stated
  on the page where it applies.
- Sponsored content is labelled Sponsored. No pay-to-play in editorial rankings.
- Closed venues are removed, not left to rot in a list.
- Trending items cite their source.
