CrickeTalk – Code of Ethics

Premise

CrickeTalk was established to bridge the gap between what the media reports and what the public understands. Our goal is to slow down the rush of ‘breaking news’ to prevent the spread of false or inaccurate information.

In line with our vision and mission to be the most reliable platform for cricket news and information, we adhere to the following ethical principles:

Ethical Principles

  • Accuracy : We present the most accurate and important information available at the time of reporting.
  • Source Crediting : We credit sources wherever needed or applicable.
  • Anti-Plagiarism : Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable and prohibited. We strive for balanced, unbiased, and logical opinions on issues.
  • Editorial Independence: We maintain a clear distinction between business interests and editorial decision-making. Business interests will never override editorial decisions.

  • Accountability : We issue public apologies in case of errors and rectify them promptly.
  • Transparency in Advertising : We clearly publicise or mention at the outset if a story is not from editorial and is an advertisement/advertorial.
