Glimmer Sports aims to publish accurate, useful, and clearly presented sports information.
This policy explains the standards we expect our writers and editors to follow.
Accuracy
Writers should verify important facts before publication and use reliable sources appropriate to the subject.
Whenever possible, preference should be given to primary sources such as official leagues, tours, governing bodies, teams, tournament organizers, athlete websites, public statements, official statistics, and verified records.
Secondary sources may be used when primary information is unavailable or when additional reporting and context are required.
Attribution and Sources
Information obtained from another publication or organization should be appropriately attributed when necessary.
We do not want third-party reporting, estimates, rumors, or projections presented as independently verified facts.
Sports Statistics and Records
Statistics, rankings, team assignments, prize money, salaries, tournament results, and other sports data can change frequently.
Articles should identify relevant dates or seasons when doing so helps readers understand how current the information is.
Net Worth
An athlete’s net worth is rarely publicly disclosed or independently verifiable.
For this reason, Glimmer Sports distinguishes between:
- Verified prize money
- Reported salaries and contracts
- Career earnings
- Endorsement information
- Estimated personal net worth
Net-worth figures must not be represented as verified financial statements unless reliable documentation supports that conclusion.
See our Net Worth & Earnings Methodology.
Personal Information
We aim to use publicly available, relevant information when discussing athletes’ personal lives.
Rumors concerning relationships, family, health, finances, or other private matters should not be presented as established facts without credible evidence.
Headlines
Headlines should accurately represent the content of the article.
We avoid intentionally misleading headlines or claims designed to create an impression unsupported by the article.
AI and Editorial Tools
Glimmer Sports may use software and automated tools to assist with research, organization, editing, data processing, or other parts of the publishing workflow.
Regardless of the tools used, published material remains subject to our editorial standards. Material facts should be checked against reliable sources, and automation should not be used as a substitute for factual verification.
Updating Articles
Articles may be updated when:
- Statistics change
- New seasons begin
- Contracts or teams change
- New tournament results become available
- Previously unavailable information becomes public
- An error requires correction
Meaningful updates should be reflected in the article’s updated date where appropriate.
Editorial Independence
Advertising, sponsorships, commercial relationships, or affiliate arrangements should not determine factual conclusions in editorial content.
Sponsored material should be identified when applicable.
Corrections
When we identify a substantive factual error, we aim to correct it promptly and transparently.
See our Corrections Policy.
