# Editorial Policy

## Sourcing

Sports23 reports on events covered by reputable news organisations. Each article names and links the primary source it draws on, so readers can always trace a story back to its origin.

## Standards

- Facts before speed. We would rather be second and right than first and wrong.
- Quotes are reproduced faithfully from the sources we cite.
- Scores, results and statistics are checked against official or widely reported records.
- Opinion and analysis are labelled as such and never presented as confirmed news.
- Headlines describe what the article actually says.

## Independence

Sports23 takes no payment for coverage. Editorial decisions are made on news value alone. Where a conflict of interest might exist, we disclose it in the article.

## AI assistance

Parts of our editorial workflow use AI tools for drafting and editing. Every article is reviewed before publication, and the newsroom takes full responsibility for what appears under our name.

## Corrections policy

If we publish something wrong, we correct it promptly inside the article. Material corrections are marked so readers can see what changed. To flag an error, contact the newsroom via the address on our contact page.
