At the cricket scores, we believe that cricket reporting should be based on facts, not guesswork. Whether we’re covering a live match, reporting on player news, or publishing a pre-match analysis, our goal is to ensure that every piece of content is accurate, trustworthy, and clearly sourced.
This Fact-Check Policy outlines the standards and procedures we follow to ensure content accuracy across the platform.
1. Our Commitment to Accuracy
We understand that accurate reporting builds trust, and even small errors can mislead or confuse our readers. That’s why we take every possible step to validate information before it is published.
- All statistics, dates, names, and records are verified.
- We avoid speculation and rumor unless clearly stated as opinion or analysis.
- We focus on clarity to prevent misinterpretation.
2. Use of Reliable Sources
All facts and figures shared on the cricket scores are backed by verified sources. We prioritize:
- Primary sources: Such as official cricket boards, team announcements, and player interviews.
- Reputed secondary sources: Trusted sports media and publications.
- Live broadcast data: For real-time updates, we rely on official broadcasters and technology-integrated scoring systems.
- Each piece of content is cross-verified from at least two credible sources before publication.
3. Editorial Review Process
Before any content goes live:
- It is reviewed by a member of our editorial team.
- We check for factual consistency, proper attribution, and clarity.
- The tone and structure are also reviewed to match our editorial guidelines.
- This step helps us uphold the standards our readers expect.
4. Use of Quotes and Attributions
When using quotes:
- We ensure that they are accurately attributed to the original speaker or source.
- Quotes are presented verbatim, with only minimal changes for grammar or punctuation if necessary.
- We clearly mention the context and origin of the quote (e.g., press conference, interview, post-match statement).
5. Exclusive and Anonymous Sources
In certain cases, we may publish exclusive information or insights from unnamed sources. When doing so:
- The source is verified internally and must have a credible track record.
- We use anonymous sources only when the information is in the public interest and cannot be obtained otherwise.
- All such content is clearly labeled to distinguish it from regular reporting.
6. Zero Tolerance for Plagiarism
- We strictly prohibit plagiarism of any kind.
- All content is created originally by our writers or is clearly attributed.
- Any detected case of plagiarism is dealt with immediately — the content is removed, and appropriate editorial action is taken.
7. Corrections and Updates
Despite our best efforts, occasional errors may occur. In such cases:
- Minor corrections (typos, formatting) are silently updated.
- Factual corrections are accompanied by an update note with a timestamp.
- If a significant error affects the meaning of an article, a correction note is added at the end of the post for transparency.
- If you spot an error, you can report it at corrections@thecricketscores.com.
8. Transparency and Reader Feedback
- We encourage readers to hold us accountable.
- If you find any content that seems inaccurate or misleading, please contact us.
- We take all feedback seriously and aim to address concerns in a timely and respectful manner.
- Your feedback helps us maintain editorial integrity and serve you better.
9. Ethical Standards
All contributors, editors, and writers working with the cricket scores follow a shared editorial code of ethics. This includes:
- Avoiding bias or favoritism in match reporting.
- Respecting the privacy of individuals.
- Avoiding sensationalism or clickbait headlines.
