Fact-Checking Policy

Accuracy is a core editorial requirement at CricketMood. Our newsroom follows a verification workflow before publication and continues post-publication monitoring to catch and correct errors quickly.

Primary Source Priority

• Official score providers, governing bodies, and tournament communications.
• Direct interviews, press conferences, and verified public statements.
• Named and attributable experts for context-heavy analysis.

Verification Rules

• Claims affecting players, teams, or match integrity are cross-checked through multiple sources.
• Numbers and records are validated against official data before publication.
• Quotes are checked for context and clarity to avoid misleading framing.
• Visual assets are reviewed to reduce risks from edited, old, or out-of-context media.

Use of Anonymous Sources

We use anonymous sourcing sparingly and only when there is clear public interest. Editors must assess source credibility and request corroboration before publication.

Pre-Publish Editorial Checks

Headlines, summaries, metadata, and on-page facts are reviewed before publishing. Where uncertainty remains, we label information transparently instead of presenting it as confirmed.

Reader Feedback and Corrections Intake

Readers can report factual concerns by writing to contact@cricketmood.com. Valid reports are escalated to editors and resolved under our Corrections Policy.

Policy Updates

This policy is reviewed regularly as tools, platform behavior, and newsroom systems evolve. We may tighten verification requirements where misuse risk increases.
