Our journalistic principles:
Safety first | We take the safety of all LiveTubers seriously. If in doubt, we ask them to stop filming, to get to a safe place, and if needed to help others first. See dedicated Guidelines for LiveTubers.
Independent | LiveTube is about showing the world what’s going on. We describe pictures and what is happening but we don’t comment or express opinions. We add additional comments or information only when we receive it from trusted sources and after our own additional internal checks. For this reason, LiveTube comes without any chat or commenting functions for the audience in order to control the messaging and to prevent any fake news, hate, or racist content. All descriptions come from the LiveTube newsroom team.
No Fake News | We check every piece of content before we start a live broadcast and monitor the content until it is finished. We even delay our live streams by 30 seconds so that our producers can intervene whenever needed.
Paid | Good content is valuable. At LiveTube we pay our reporters for their live filming.
Quality | We decline many more stories than we broadcast. To ensure the highest standard of quality all of our producers are professional journalists.
Strict rules | All LiveTube content needs to follow the strict LiveTube Rules. Every user must register and verify both email-address and their mobile number. In order to GO LIVE as a reporter, users have to provide their real-time location data.
