At DoubleHype, accuracy matters. We aim to publish clear, reliable, and well-sourced sports coverage, analysis, and commentary. When we make a mistake, we are committed to correcting it promptly and transparently.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We review facts, names, statistics, dates, quotes, scores, and sourcing before publication. However, sports news moves quickly, and errors can occasionally occur. When they do, we will take appropriate action to correct the record.
Corrections may include updates to:
- Player names, team names, league names, or titles
- Scores, statistics, standings, records, or historical references
- Injury details, roster moves, trades, contracts, or transactions
- Quotes, attributions, or source references
- Dates, locations, captions, tags, categories, or article metadata
- Context that may have changed after publication
How We Handle Corrections
When an error is identified, our editorial team reviews the issue and determines the appropriate correction.
Depending on the nature of the error, we may:
- Correct the article text
- Add missing context or attribution
- Update outdated information
- Revise a headline, caption, tag, category, or excerpt
- Add a correction note to the article
- Remove unsupported claims
- Retract or unpublish content if a serious issue cannot be resolved
Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, or style changes may be corrected without a formal correction note, provided they do not change the meaning of the article.
Material corrections that affect the substance, interpretation, or accuracy of a story will be noted clearly on the article.
Updates vs. Corrections
Some articles are updated as new information becomes available. An update is not always a correction.
An update may be used when:
- A team, league, player, coach, or official source provides new information
- A developing story changes after publication
- A game result, transaction, injury status, or quote becomes available
- Additional context improves the article
A correction is used when previously published information was inaccurate, misleading, incomplete in an important way, or improperly attributed.
When appropriate, articles may include a note such as:
Correction: An earlier version of this article misstated [brief explanation]. The article has been updated.
or:
Update: This article has been updated to include [new information or source].
Reader Correction Requests
We welcome correction requests from readers, athletes, teams, leagues, representatives, and other sources.
To report a possible error, please contact us at:
Email: contact@doublehype.com
Subject line: Correction Request – [Article Title]
Please include:
- A link to the article
- A clear description of the possible error
- The correct information, if available
- A source or supporting documentation, when possible
We review correction requests as quickly as possible. Submitting a correction request does not guarantee that a change will be made, but all good-faith requests will be considered.
Sourcing and Attribution
When correcting or updating an article, we may rely on sources such as:
- Official league, team, or athlete statements
- Game books, box scores, transaction logs, and injury reports
- Verified public records or court documents
- Direct statements from relevant parties
- Established news organizations and credentialed reporters
- Reliable statistical databases
We may decline to make changes based on unsupported claims, anonymous messages, social media speculation, or unverifiable information.
Headlines, Images, Captions, and Metadata
Corrections are not limited to article body text. We may also correct:
- Headlines
- Subheadings
- Featured images
- Image captions and credits
- Author bylines
- Publication or update dates
- Categories and tags
- Social media preview text
- Search snippets and metadata
Because search engines and social platforms may cache older versions of pages, corrected information may take time to appear everywhere.
Retractions and Removals
In rare cases, DoubleHype may retract, remove, or substantially revise content if we determine that an article contains serious factual errors, unsupported allegations, rights issues, or other material problems.
When appropriate, we may replace the article with an editor’s note explaining the action taken.
