At Sports News Time we want every story, scorecard and feature to earn your trust. The guidelines below show how we keep our journalism accurate, independent and fair across every sport we cover.
1. Editorial Independence
Sports News Time makes all editorial decisions in‑house. Sponsors, advertisers, leagues or political groups do not influence our news judgment. All staff must declare any outside interests that could affect coverage. When a potential conflict cannot be avoided, another editor or writer is assigned to the story.
2. Accuracy and Verification
Before we publish, each article is checked for correct names, dates, statistics and context. Facts come first from official sources—governing bodies, clubs, athletes, press releases—or from on‑record interviews. When secondary sources are needed we cross‑check with at least one additional, reputable outlet. Anonymous sources are used only when information cannot be obtained otherwise and the editor is confident the source is reliable.
3. Clear Content Labels
Every item on our site is tagged so readers instantly know what they are viewing.
| Label | What you can expect |
|---|---|
| News | Straight reporting of current events, verified facts only. |
| Analysis | Deeper context, data breakdowns, tactical insights. |
| Opinion | Comment pieces reflecting a writer’s viewpoint. |
| Sponsored | Paid placements clearly marked in the headline and byline. |
4. Corrections and Updates
If we discover a mistake we correct it quickly and add a short note at the foot of the article explaining what changed. When a story develops—final scores, injury updates, official statements—we add fresh information and time‑stamp the update so readers can track the latest version.
5. Use and Credit of Sources
We link to—or name—our sources whenever possible. Direct quotations are reproduced exactly, with only light edits for punctuation. Images and video are used under licence or fair‑use guidelines and always carry a credit line.
6. Respect, Sensitivity and Non‑Discrimination
Coverage must not promote prejudice on the basis of race, gender, nationality, religion, disability or sexual orientation. When we report on sensitive matters such as injuries, legal issues or personal tragedy we focus on verified facts and avoid sensational detail.
7. Diversity of Voices
Sport belongs to everyone. We aim to feature athletes, experts and fans from different regions, backgrounds and perspectives to reflect the global nature of modern sport.
8. Reader Engagement
Comments, emails and social posts are welcome. Feedback can be sent to feedback@sportsnewstime.com. We review every message, correct errors that come to light and use audience ideas to shape future coverage. Interactive polls and surveys help us understand which topics matter most to you.
9. Privacy and Data
Personal information collected through newsletters, contests or comments is stored securely and used only for the purpose for which it was provided. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
By following these News Policies and Standards, Sports News Time aims to deliver content that informs, entertains and respects readers across the world of sport.
