Sports News Time — News Policies and Standards

1. Our Editorial Mission

At Sports News Time, our mission is to provide timely, accurate, and unbiased sports news to our readers. We cover a wide spectrum of sports, including cricket, football, tennis, wrestling, and more. Our editorial decisions are guided by a strong commitment to journalistic ethics, transparency, and public trust.

2. Accuracy and Verification

We prioritize factual accuracy in every piece of content we publish. Our editorial team:

  • Verifies all facts and statistics using multiple credible sources
  • Cross-checks data with official governing bodies, such as ICC, FIFA, ATP, BCCI, and others
  • Updates articles promptly if new or corrected information becomes available
  • We are committed to correcting any factual errors in a timely and transparent manner.

3. Impartiality and Fairness

Sports News Time maintains a neutral and unbiased tone across all coverage. We:

  • Avoid favoritism towards teams, players, or sporting bodies
  • Ensure that opinion pieces and analysis are clearly labeled as such
  • Give all sides a fair representation in controversies or disputes
  • Our writers and editors do not allow personal views or affiliations to influence news coverage.

4. Editorial Independence

Our editorial content is independent of commercial influence. Advertisers, sponsors, or affiliated entities have no say in our news coverage, headlines, or editorial stance. Sponsored content, if published, is clearly marked as “Sponsored” or “Advertorial” to maintain transparency.

5. Originality and Plagiarism

We produce original content created by our in-house team of writers and contributors. All submitted work is checked for plagiarism using reliable tools. Any duplication of external content is done with permission or falls under fair use and is properly credited.

6. Use of Anonymous Sources

We rarely rely on anonymous sources. However, if a source’s identity must be protected due to sensitivity or risk, the following criteria apply:

  • The information must be of public importance
  • The source must be credible and verifiable
  • Approval must be obtained from senior editorial staff

7. Sensitive Reporting

We are mindful when reporting on sensitive topics such as injuries, athlete controversies, or disciplinary actions. In such cases, we:

  • Avoid sensationalism
  • Maintain respect for individuals’ privacy
  • Publish only verified and essential information

8. User-Generated Content

We welcome comments, feedback, and contributions from our readers. However, all user-generated content is moderated to prevent the spread of:

  • False or misleading information
  • Offensive, defamatory, or abusive language
  • Spam or promotional content

9. Corrections and Clarifications

If any inaccuracies are discovered, we will:
