1. Our Guiding Principles
At Wrestling Notícias, our mission is to report on the world of professional wrestling with accuracy, integrity, and transparency. This editorial policy is the foundation of our work, reflecting a deep commitment to quality journalism, rigorous verification, and profound respect for our audience, the athletes, and the industry itself. Our goal is to be your most trusted source for wrestling news and analysis.
2. Sourcing and Attribution
The credibility of our reporting begins with our sources. Every piece of news published by Wrestling Notícias is built upon a foundation of reliable and high-credibility sources.
- Primary Sources: We prioritize information from primary sources, including official company press releases, investor calls, direct interviews, and statements from verified representatives.
- Vetted Industry Sources: We maintain direct contact with established journalists in North America and other key markets who closely follow WWE, AEW, and other major promotions. We also reference and cross-reference information with the most respected and established specialized media outlets in the international landscape.
- Attribution and Credit: Transparency is paramount. We are committed to crediting the original source of information whenever possible. If a story is broken or exclusively reported by another outlet, we will clearly link to and credit that source within our report. We do not present borrowed information as our own original work.
3. Fact-Checking and Verification Process
Accuracy is a non-negotiable cornerstone of our content. Before any information is published, it undergoes a rigorous verification process.
- Internal Review: Our editorial team reviews and cross-references data to ensure every fact, figure, and quote is accurate, minimizing the risk of errors or distortions.
- Confirmation of Rumors: We understand the wrestling community thrives on discussion, but we clearly distinguish between confirmed news and industry rumors. Rumors or unconfirmed reports are always explicitly labeled as such and are only reported when they come from sources with a proven track record of reliability. We avoid reporting speculative information as fact.
- Handling Developing Stories: For sensitive or breaking news, we are committed to providing responsible updates as the story unfolds, always prioritizing verified facts over the pressure to be first.
4. Corrections and Updates Policy
Our commitment to our audience includes a transparent policy for updates and corrections.
- Corrections: If a factual error is published, we will correct it promptly and clearly. The correction will be noted within the article, typically at the top or bottom, explaining what was changed and when. We believe in owning our mistakes to maintain the trust of our readers.
- Updates: When significant new information emerges regarding a previously published story, the article will be updated to reflect the latest developments. These updates are clearly marked to ensure readers understand how the story has evolved.
5. Impartiality and Objectivity
Our primary commitment is to inform, not to influence. We maintain a clear separation between objective news reporting and subjective analysis.
- News Reporting: Our news articles are based on facts and are presented with an impartial, objective editorial stance.
- Analysis and Opinion: When we publish content that expresses analysis, commentary, or opinion, it is clearly distinguished from news. These articles are labeled as [Analysis], [Opinion], or published under specific columnist bylines to ensure readers can easily differentiate between factual reporting and expert commentary.
6. Ethical Standards
Credibility is our most valuable asset. We adhere to a strict code of journalistic ethics to protect the trust our audience places in us.
- No Sensationalism: We reject the use of clickbait headlines, unverified information, and sensationalism designed solely to generate traffic at the expense of accuracy.
- Respect for Privacy: We respect the privacy of individuals within the wrestling industry and avoid publishing personal information that is not relevant to the public interest or their professional lives.
- Copyright and Integrity: We respect the intellectual property rights of others and adhere to all copyright laws.
- Accountability: We hold ourselves accountable to our readers and the principles outlined in this policy. We welcome feedback and encourage our community to reach out to us if they believe our standards have not been met. You can contact our editorial team via [email protected].
