Chelsea Desk

Fact-Checking

Verification is part of the desk, not a marketing badge.

Before publication, writers and editors check names, scores, dates, transfer statuses, and attributed quotes against primary sources where available (club statements, league data, on-record interviews).

After publication

Readers and subjects can challenge claims via corrections. We revisit sourcing when new information emerges and update or clarify as needed.

What we do not do

We do not present rumour as confirmation. We do not invent quotes. We do not alter images to mislead. Opinion remains clearly labelled and distinct from news.
