Bite Sports is committed to accurate, independent and transparent sports journalism. These editorial guidelines explain the standards we use when reporting, writing, editing and publishing content on Bite Sports.
Accuracy
Accuracy is our primary editorial responsibility.
Writers and editors are expected to verify names, statistics, quotations, transactions, injuries, contracts, game results and other factual information before publication. Whenever possible, reporting should rely on primary sources, official records, direct statements or reputable news organizations.
When information is developing, we may update stories as additional details become available.
Bite Sports does not knowingly publish false or misleading information.
Sourcing
Bite Sports strives to clearly identify the sources behind its reporting.
Sources may include:
- Team and league announcements
- Player, coach and executive interviews
- Press conferences
- Credentialed reporters
- Public records
- Statistical databases
- Established news organizations
- Verified social media accounts
- Original reporting conducted by Bite Sports
When another publication or reporter breaks a story, Bite Sports will make reasonable efforts to credit the original source and link to the source when appropriate.
Rumors, predictions and speculation will be identified as such and will not be presented as confirmed fact.
Quotations
Quotations should accurately represent what a source said and should not be altered in a way that changes the speaker’s meaning.
Minor edits may be made for clarity, such as removing filler words, provided the substance of the quotation remains unchanged.
When quotations originate from another publication, broadcast, podcast, press conference or social media post, Bite Sports will provide attribution.
Headlines
Headlines should accurately reflect the substance of the article.
Bite Sports may use compelling or conversational headlines, but headlines should not intentionally misrepresent what occurred or promise information that the article does not support.
Opinion and Analysis
Some Bite Sports articles may contain analysis, predictions, rankings, commentary or opinion.
When appropriate, those conclusions will be distinguished from factual reporting. Analysis should still be based on accurate information and relevant evidence.
Anonymous Sources
Bite Sports prefers named and attributable sources.
Anonymous sourcing may be used when the information is newsworthy and the source has a legitimate reason to remain unidentified. Writers should make reasonable efforts to verify information provided by anonymous sources before publication.
Conflicts of Interest
Writers and editors should avoid financial, professional or personal conflicts that could compromise their reporting.
Any significant conflict relevant to an article should be disclosed when appropriate.
Editorial coverage will not be changed in exchange for gifts, payments or favorable treatment.
Advertising and Sponsored Content
Advertising relationships do not determine Bite Sports’ editorial conclusions.
Sponsored or paid content will be clearly identified when applicable.
Advertisers, sponsors and commercial partners do not receive editorial approval over independent Bite Sports journalism unless a piece is explicitly labeled as sponsored content.
Affiliate Links
Bite Sports may occasionally use affiliate links. If a reader makes a purchase through an affiliate link, Bite Sports may receive compensation.
Affiliate relationships do not affect the price paid by the reader and should not determine the editorial conclusions of an article.
Appropriate disclosures will be provided where required.
Artificial Intelligence
Bite Sports may use technological or artificial-intelligence tools to assist with research, transcription, organization, editing, data analysis or other parts of the publishing process.
Editorial responsibility remains with Bite Sports.
Material facts, quotations and claims should be reviewed before publication, and AI-generated information should not be treated as a substitute for reliable sourcing or editorial verification.
Corrections
Bite Sports corrects material factual errors when they are identified.
For more information, see our Corrections Policy.
