About Vanity Fair

Mission Statement

Vanity Fair is the premier publication for Hollywood obsessives, the insider’s source for arch political analysis, and a trusted home for incisive narrative journalism. Part of the Condé Nast portfolio, VF explores the intersection of power and personality, profiling the outsize characters who shape our culture. Across platforms, VF stands for ambitious storytelling, iconic images, and indelible experiences, including the legendary Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Editorial Standards and Practices

Vanity Fair’s journalists adhere to the highest standards of accuracy as they set about illuminating the topics they cover, whether it’s US politics, crime, scandal, the entertainment industry, Hollywood’s awards races, the British royal family, or an irresistible morsel of celebrity news. VF encourages its reporters, writers, photographers, and editors to draw upon their experience and informed perspective and give readers the clearest possible picture of what’s really happening. Originally reported stories are fact-checked, copyedited, and subject to legal review in advance of publication.
