Editorial Policy

Last Updated: September 5, 2026

At USHSFUpdate.com, we aim to provide useful, accurate, and responsible high school football coverage.

Our editorial approach is designed to help readers find football scores, schedules, news, rankings, and other relevant information in a clear and accessible format.

Our Editorial Principles

We aim to:

  • Provide useful information to high school football fans
  • Verify information whenever reasonably possible
  • Correct significant errors when identified
  • Clearly distinguish factual information from commentary
  • Avoid intentionally misleading headlines
  • Provide appropriate context when reporting sports information
  • Respect copyright and intellectual property rights

Sources

Depending on the type of story, we may consult publicly available sources such as school websites, athletic organizations, team announcements, schedules, score reports, public records, and other reliable sources.

When appropriate, we may link to or identify relevant sources.

Original Content

We strive to provide original editorial value rather than simply reproducing material published elsewhere.

Our articles may include original explanations, organization of information, analysis, summaries, context, and reporting.

We do not intentionally publish copied articles from other websites.

Scores and Schedules

Sports information can change quickly.

When reporting scores and schedules, we make reasonable efforts to verify information using available reliable sources. However, readers should understand that last-minute changes, postponements, cancellations, and reporting errors can occur.

Corrections

If we discover that an article contains a significant factual error, we may update the article to correct the information.

Readers can report potential errors by contacting:

[email protected]

Please see our Corrections Policy for more information.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial decisions are intended to be based on the usefulness and relevance of information to our readers.

Advertising does not determine our editorial coverage.

Updates

This Editorial Policy may be updated as our website and editorial practices develop.

The current version will always be published on this page.
