Editorial trust

Editorial Standards

The Snap aims to publish direct, useful NFL coverage while making the source, analysis, and status of each story clear.

Reporting and sourcing

  • News stories should identify and link to the original or most authoritative available source.
  • Anonymous social posts, aggregators, and screenshots are not treated as confirmation on their own.
  • Rumors, reports, official announcements, analysis, and opinion must be labeled accurately.
  • Statistics and contract details should be checked against league, team, filing, or established data sources when available.

Original value

Articles should add useful context, comparison, calculation, reporting, or a clearly identified point of view. We do not aim to publish lightly reworded versions of another outlet's work.

AI-assisted work

Software, including generative AI, may help with research organization, drafting, editing, data checks, or production. It is not a source and does not replace editorial responsibility. Published claims should be checked against named sources, and an editor remains responsible for the final page.

Updates and corrections

Material updates should show an updated date and, when useful, a note explaining what changed. Factual errors are corrected as promptly as practical under our corrections policy.

Independence and commercial content

Advertising, sponsorships, affiliate relationships, and supplied products do not determine editorial conclusions. Paid or materially sponsored content must be clearly labeled. See the affiliate disclosure.
