NVR.news is on the air: the celebrity stories the big outlets skip

NVR.news starts today with a narrow promise. We cover the celebrity and creator stories that the large entertainment outlets do not, because their subjects are not famous enough yet, because the paperwork is boring, or because the story is happening in a Discord server rather than a courtroom in Los Angeles.

What we cover

The beats are listed on the front page and they will not change quietly. Independent artists and the labels, distributors and funders around them. Streamers and the creators who make a living on platforms that can change the rules overnight. The court filings, trademark disputes, contract fights and payment arguments that decide who actually owns a career. Festival lineups that fall apart, tours that get cancelled, and the money behind both.

How we work

Every story carries a sources box listing the documents, filings, posts and people its claims rest on. Allegations are attributed to whoever made them and are never stated as fact. Anyone a story is about is asked for comment before it runs, and their answer, or their silence, is in the story. Corrections are made on the page, dated, and logged. The full standards are published and they bind every byline on this site.

Who is behind it

NVR.news is published by the company behind SNVRKOTICS, the rights-and-royalties platform for independent music, and by NVR.to, its smart-link product. That is disclosed on every page because it is relevant: this title writes about the industry its publisher sells software to. The editorial desk does not take direction from the product side, and a story about a SNVRKOTICS customer, partner or competitor says so in the text.

How to reach us

The tip line is on every page. It takes a story, a document and, if you want to give one, a way to reach you. It stores no address and asks for none if you would rather stay anonymous. If you have the story nobody else is telling, that is where it goes.
