Sports Analyst

What the newsroom covers

SportSignals reports football news, transfers, injuries, disciplinary matters, matchday developments and off-pitch stories. We also publish analysis where the evidence supports a distinct interpretation. News, analysis, opinion and rumour are labelled so readers can distinguish reported facts from interpretation and developing claims.

How an article is produced

  1. David chooses or approves the subject and reporting angle.
  2. Source material is gathered, prioritising primary and official sources.
  3. AI may assist with research organisation and an initial draft.
  4. David checks material facts, quotations and the strength of the headline.
  5. David edits and approves the final article before publication.

AI is a production tool, not the named author. The personal byline identifies the person who accepts editorial responsibility for the published work. See the editorial policy for the detailed standard.

Ownership and funding
