How we write
303Happenings is written with AI assistance and edited under our own standards. This page explains what that means, who the names on our articles are, and what we promise readers.
Writing with AI assistance
Our articles are drafted with the help of AI writing tools. The drafts start from our own data, not from memory: the venue and event listings we maintain, official open data from the City and County of Denver, and sources we cite in the piece. Anything a draft says that we cannot trace to those inputs is cut, not softened.
Review before publication
Every piece is checked before it is published. A separate review pass that did not write the draft and automated checks test facts, links, dates and style rules. Our editors set those standards, handle whatever the checks flag, and can hold, correct or remove any article at any time.
The names on our articles
Articles run under the byline of a named member of our writing staff. Each writer has a beat, such as nightlife, family outings or neighborhoods, and a consistent voice, so a reader who likes one piece will recognize the next. The names are pen names for those beats. We do not publish a made-up biography for any of them: the experience we show on a writer's page is their record on this site, meaning how many pieces they have published, since when, and where.
Our writers do not claim to have visited, eaten, drunk or attended anything. We write from listings and records and say so when a detail is unconfirmed.
Corrections
Hours, prices and lineups change. If something on a page is wrong, tell us through the contact details on our about page and we will fix it, usually the same day. Venues can also claim their listing to keep their own details current.
