Editorial Policy

FanSportly uses a verification-first publishing process. Articles are written to summarize confirmed facts, not to imitate or replace the original reporting.

Source hierarchy

Primary sources such as leagues, teams, federations and official releases receive the highest weight. Established news organizations and sports publishers may be used for corroboration or clearly attributed single-source reports.

Automation and review

Automated tools help discover stories, compare sources, generate concise drafts and detect duplicates. Publication filters reject opinion pieces, rankings, fantasy content, gambling content, incomplete drafts and unsupported numeric claims. Automated output is not treated as a source: the cited reporting remains the factual basis of each article.

Added value

FanSportly aims to add value through concise key facts, clear separation of confirmed and unknown information, direct source links, update history and image-context labels such as FILE PHOTO when an image is not from the reported event.

Weekly editorial analysis

Editor's Weekly is clearly labeled editorial analysis. It may include FanSportly's interpretation of which verified developments mattered most and how separate stories connect. Factual claims remain grounded in the linked reporting, while interpretation is presented as analysis rather than additional reporting or prediction.

Corrections

When a factual error is identified, we update the existing canonical page rather than creating a duplicate. Significant corrections should also update the last-verified timestamp. See the Corrections Policy.
