1. Commitment to Factual Accuracy
At PTVSports.live, accuracy is the bedrock of our sports journalism. We recognize that millions of cricket supporters rely on our platform for verified scores, squad updates, tournament schedules, and broadcast details. We pledge to verify all factual claims before publication.
2. Primary Source Verification Protocol
Our writers and editors must cross-examine news claims against recognized primary authorities:
- Official Governing Bodies: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), International Cricket Council (ICC), England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Cricket Australia (CA), and other ICC full members.
- On-Record Statements: Direct quotes from official post-match press conferences, team captains, coaches, and PCB press releases.
- Official Broadcasters: Verified broadcast schedules issued directly by authorized rights holders and satellite operators.
- Two-Source Rule: Unofficial transfer rumors or unconfirmed reports must be independently corroborated by at least two credible sources before publication, and must be explicitly labeled as "Reports" or "Unconfirmed".
3. Impartiality & Fairness
While our portal maintains a dedicated focus on Pakistan cricket and the HBL PSL, our journalistic reporting remains fair, analytical, and objective. We critique performance based on data and tactical execution rather than sensationalism. When reporting on disputes, disciplinary hearings, or board governance, we strive to give voice to all involved parties.
Our editorial decisions are made entirely free from commercial or advertising influence. Sponsored content or affiliate references, if any, are clearly labeled as such. Advertisers have no say in our cricket match analysis, player evaluations, or editorial rankings.
4. Human Authorship & Anti-Plagiarism Standards
All original analyses, opinions, match reports, and profiles published on PTVSports.live are drafted and reviewed by professional human sports correspondents. We enforce a zero-tolerance policy regarding plagiarism. Any writer found copying work without proper attribution is immediately removed from our editorial roster.
5. Corrections & Accountability
When errors occur in real-time sports publishing, we take full responsibility. We promptly acknowledge and correct substantive factual inaccuracies in accordance with our documented Corrections Policy.
