Editorial Policy

How NoDechev Sports handles fast stories

Sports moves quickly, but speed is not an excuse to publish weak context. NoDechev Sports is built around a clear method for separating confirmed reporting, analysis, rumor, social reaction, and opinion.

Claim status

Stories should make the status of the information clear. A confirmed transaction, official injury update, club statement, fight announcement, or race result is treated differently from a rumor, analyst read, social clip, anonymous claim, or fan theory.

Source ranking

Primary sources come first where possible: league, team, club, competition, fighter, driver, coach, official documents, verified statements, and direct event data. Credible reporting can add context. Social posts are treated as leads until stronger sources support them.

When a story depends on outside reporting, the brief should identify the source basis clearly enough for readers to understand why the claim is being discussed. When a report is not confirmed by a primary source, the language should stay careful.

Rumors and transfers

Transfer, trade, injury, contract, and lineup rumors should not be presented as settled fact. A good brief explains the source tier, timing, team need, financial logic, and the next checkpoint that can confirm or weaken the claim.

Analysis and opinion

Analysis can be direct, but it should not pretend to be reporting. If NoDechev Sports is interpreting a game, matchup, transfer fit, title race, schedule release, or fan debate, the article should show the evidence behind the read and avoid overstating certainty.

Images and attribution

Images should be relevant to the subject whenever practical. When an article uses a public-source image, wire image, screenshot, embed, or third-party visual, the source and context should be clear enough that the reader understands what the image represents.

Corrections Policy

If an article is wrong or missing important context, it should be corrected or updated. Correction notes should identify the article, the claim in question, and the source that supports the change.

Material corrections should be handled visibly in the affected article when they change the meaning of a claim, the status of a rumor, the identity of a person or team, the timing of an event, or the source basis for a story. Smaller fixes, such as spelling or formatting, may be corrected without a separate note.

Readers can send correction requests through the contact page. A useful correction includes the article URL, the sentence or claim at issue, and the strongest available source.
