Independent sports reporting
Trust & transparency

Editorial Standards

Healthier Sports Today should make it easy to tell what happened, what is analysis and where the underlying information came from.

01

Source the facts

Scores, schedules, roster status and direct statements should link to official leagues, teams, event organizers or clearly identified reporting.

02

Label analysis

Interpretation should not masquerade as a confirmed report. Headlines and article framing must preserve uncertainty.

03

Time-stamp fast stories

Developing coverage should show when it was checked or updated so readers can judge how current it is.

04

Correct clearly

Material factual errors should be corrected promptly. The updated article should explain what changed when the correction affects the story’s meaning.

05

Treat health carefully

Fitness and recovery coverage is general education, not diagnosis or individualized medical advice. Injury reporting should respect privacy and avoid speculation.

06

Disclose commercial ties

Affiliate relationships, sponsorships, free products or other material connections should be disclosed near relevant coverage.

07

Use imagery honestly

Generated editorial illustrations are labeled. They must not imply that a fictional scene is documentary evidence or imitate a real athlete without permission.

08

Respect rights

Do not copy articles, photographs, logos or protected marks. Quote sparingly, attribute directly and use original visuals or properly licensed media.

09

Handle corrections clearly

We document verified corrections and update affected articles when the underlying facts materially change.

Corrections process

When a verified correction is required, we update the affected article, note material changes and preserve the source trail described in these editorial standards.
