Every by-line on comesportsnow belongs to a real reporter who filed the copy under their own name. We do not run anonymous syndication, we do not run wire-service copy without attribution, and we do not use AI-only by-lines.
If a piece is a wire-service report that we have re-formatted for the desk, the original by-line and outlet are preserved at the top of the article.
If a piece is filed by a freelancer, the by-line carries the freelancer’s name and a short bio. The contributor guidelines explain our rates, our workflow and our expectations.
If a piece is updated, the update is dated and the original by-line is preserved. The update note carries the name of the editor who signed off the change.
Every page on comesportsnow sits on the same five editorial principles: sourced claims, named by-lines, visible timestamps, dated corrections and disclosed conflicts. The five principles are not aspirational; they are the gate every page passes through before it goes live.
Every claim that can be checked against a named source is checked. If we cannot source a claim, we do not publish it.
Every by-line belongs to the reporter who filed the copy. We do not run anonymous syndication or AI-only by-lines.
Every article shows when it was filed and when it was last verified. Updates carry their own timestamps.
Corrections are published within 24 hours of confirmation and recorded on the corrections log.
Reporters disclose any personal connection to a team, competition or story. The disclosure appears at the bottom of the article when it applies.
Most of our readers follow the game because they care about the shape of the side, the form of the player, the captaincy call that swung a match. They do not place a wager, and they do not need a betting angle to justify their interest.
Our coverage is built for them. The desk treats live scores as the starting point, not the headline. The desk publishes the supporting and counter evidence alongside every prediction. The desk does not run odds widgets, does not take bookmaker partnerships and does not run a paid tipster subscription.
If you follow sport for the love of the game, our coverage is built for you.
The alerts desk sends up to three emails per match you follow: kick-off, in-game change of state and full-time summary. No filler, no sponsored content, unsubscribe in one click.
