Editorial policy

Eastern Sports Compass aims to make sport and its surrounding culture clearer through careful, readable editorial work. Accuracy, context and a clean distinction between editorial material and paid placements guide what appears here.

Accuracy and context

We check factual statements against suitable sources before publication and take care with names, terminology and historical claims. An article should make clear what it covers and avoid presenting a local, regional or sport-specific practice as universal. Where details remain uncertain or accounts differ, the wording should reflect that uncertainty.

Independence and corrections

Editorial decisions remain separate from partnership arrangements. Payment or collaboration does not buy a particular editorial conclusion. Readers may send corrections through the Contact page; we review clear, specific reports and amend published material when warranted, with a note where the change needs explanation.

Paid and partner material

Sponsored articles, partner links and other paid placements are identified clearly where they appear. Their presence does not imply editorial endorsement, and commercial arrangements do not determine the conclusions of independent editorial articles.

Illustrations and AI

Some illustrations may be AI-generated. When an illustration is AI-generated, it should be identified as such and should not be presented as documentary evidence, an authentic sporting scene or a photograph of a real event.
