Who signs
Analysis, previews, transfer stories and day-to-day news are signed by named people: José Gaspard, Andrés Villagómez and José Vargas, from the Basher Agency team. Each byline links to their own page with their role, background and public profiles. You can find them all on the editorial team page.
"Scorely Newsroom" is the shared byline for match reports and for stories not signed by a person. The process and the checks are the same for every byline.
How a story is written
- We start from the data of the game or event (score, scorers, table, fixtures) that Scorely receives from ESPN.
- We gather at least two sources published by different outlets and cite them with links.
- The newsroom uses automated tools, including artificial intelligence, to organise the data and prepare the text. The final text has to pass the checks below; if it does not, it is not published.
- Each story is written for its edition, in British English with UK time.
Checks before publishing
- Headline, standfirst of up to 155 characters, dates, league, teams, category and byline required.
- Length: 350 to 700 words for match reports, previews and analysis; 250 to 700 for short news and transfer pieces.
- At least two sources from different domains.
- Copy check against the sources (repeated 8-word phrases).
- If a story has an image, its credit is required.
- One match report per game.
