OUR ETHICS & TRANSPARENCY GUIDELINES
Esports Insider is a proudly independent news publication that strives to cover the esports industry with rigour, impartiality and integrity. Our journalists follow robust guidelines that ensure objectivity and high ethical standards in our work, providing neutral and trusted coverage of key industry issues and stakeholders. We will always allow our journalists to operate with the autonomy and independence required for quality, unbiased journalism.
Sponsored content
Esports Insider works with a wide variety of external partners and clients to produce multimedia content that appears across Esports Insider’s channels. We sometimes produce sponsored articles in collaboration with our partners, which are held to the exact same standards of fact-checking and accuracy as the rest of our news coverage. Sponsored articles contain a label clearly identifying the article as sponsored.
Coverage partner
Articles containing the label ‘Coverage Partner’ denote content produced at an event attended by Esports Insider where the event organiser has provided travel and/or accommodation for Esports Insider staff. This content is strictly editorially independent and has not been vetted nor influenced by that partner.
Updates & Corrections
When an article needs to be updated with major new developments that happen post-publication, Esports Insider will update the article and add a notice to provide an accurate description of how the article has been changed.
In the event of article corrections, for example to address factual inaccuracies, we will update the article immediately and issue a clearly visible correction outlining what was changed and when. To notify us of corrections, please reach out to [email protected].
Product reviews
We apply the same rigorous standards of journalism Esports Insider is known for to our product coverage and reviews. We will always provide unbiased reviews of relevant products and neutral coverage of the companies that make them.
Esports Insider may receive free press copies of the products that we review. We do not and will never accept paid reviews. Esports Insider may produce sponsored content on product-related topics, which is clearly labelled as sponsored and is editorially independent from our reviews process.
