At The Cricket Scores, we are committed to delivering cricket content that is accurate, respectful, and trustworthy. As a platform dedicated to cricket fans worldwide, we believe that ethical journalism is the foundation of credibility. This Code of Ethics guides our editorial decisions, ensuring that our reporting reflects fairness, integrity, and responsibility.
Our Editorial Principles
Accuracy and Clarity
We prioritize factual accuracy in all our reports, updates, and articles. Before any content is published, it is carefully reviewed to eliminate errors, avoid exaggeration, and ensure clarity for our readers.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial work is free from external pressure. No sponsor, partner, or advertiser influences our news coverage. Every decision made by our editorial team is based solely on journalistic merit and public interest.
Accountability to Readers
We accept that mistakes can occur, and when they do, we act swiftly to correct them. We value feedback from our readers and take their concerns seriously, using them to improve our standards.
Respect for Privacy
We respect the personal lives of players, officials, and individuals involved in the cricketing world. Our stories avoid unnecessary intrusions and uphold the dignity of the people we report on.
Use of Copyrighted Content
We ensure proper attribution when using third-party content and respect copyright laws. All images, clips, and material used from other sources are either licensed or used under fair use principles, with credit clearly given.
Reporting Standards
Right to Respond
In cases where stories involve allegations, criticism, or sensitive matters, we provide the opportunity for all relevant parties to respond. If a response is received post-publication, it may be added to the content with clear context.
Correction Policy
If an article is found to contain incorrect or outdated information, we update it promptly. In cases where the entire piece is flawed, we may take it down and publish a revised version with a correction note if needed.
Sensitivity in Reporting
We report on sensitive topics such as match controversies, corruption, or player issues with care and neutrality. Sensationalism and unverified gossip have no place in our coverage.
Social Responsibility
We take care when reporting on stories that may impact public sentiment, particularly those related to communities, regions, or sensitive events. Our goal is to foster understanding and unity through responsible journalism.
Legal and Regulatory Adherence
We comply with the laws and digital publishing norms of all regions in which we operate. This includes data privacy laws like GDPR, as well as rules related to online content publishing, user rights, and content takedown requests.
Complaints and Feedback
We offer a dedicated channel for grievances and concerns. Any issue raised through our Contact Us page will be acknowledged within 36 hours, and we aim to provide resolution within 30 days. All complaints are reviewed by our editorial lead or a designated grievance officer.
Training and Awareness
Our editorial team regularly participates in internal training sessions to stay updated on legal standards, ethical journalism practices, and evolving digital media guidelines. We emphasize continuous learning to ensure quality in everything we publish.
Our Promise
Cricket is more than a sport—it’s a culture and a community. At the cricket scores, we pledge to serve that community with content that is ethical, respectful, and rooted in journalistic values. Our mission is to build a platform that cricket lovers can trust every day.
