At Sports News Time, we are committed to honest, fair, and responsible sports journalism. This Code of Ethics outlines the values and practices we follow to ensure that our content is trustworthy and respectful.
1. Accuracy First
We always aim to publish accurate and well-verified information. Every article is checked carefully before going live. If we make a mistake, we correct it as soon as possible and let our readers know about the change.
2. Editorial Independence
Our content is created without any influence from advertisers, sponsors, or outside parties. We make our own editorial decisions to ensure that our news stays fair and unbiased.
3. Fairness and Balance
We aim to give all sides of a story a fair chance to be heard. When reporting on criticism or allegations, we give people the opportunity to respond. If their response comes later, we update the article accordingly.
4. Respect for Privacy
We respect the privacy of players, fans, and anyone we write about. We avoid sharing personal details unless it’s in the public interest and handled with care.
5. No Sensationalism
We avoid rumors and do not publish content just to grab attention. We report facts clearly and responsibly, especially when covering sensitive issues like injuries, match-fixing, or legal matters.
6. Corrections and Updates
If an article needs to be corrected or updated, we do so quickly and transparently:
- Small fixes (like spelling or grammar) are made quietly.
- Major errors (like wrong stats or names) are fixed with a correction note at the bottom.
- Ongoing stories are updated with a date and a note explaining what’s new.
7. Respect for Copyright
We only use photos, videos, and content we have permission to use. We always credit original creators and follow copyright laws.
8. Legal Compliance
We follow all local and international laws, including rules about privacy, defamation, and data protection.
9. Grievance Redressal
If you believe we’ve made a mistake or published something unfair, you can file a complaint.
