How we work
SideLine turns the day's sports news into fast, readable stories. Here's exactly how that works, so you can judge our coverage — and always reach the original reporting.
What SideLine is
SideLine rewrites sports news in our own words and adds a short editorial “SideLine Take.” When several outlets cover the same event, we synthesize them into a single story rather than publishing near-identical copies, and we link to every source. We don't republish articles in full, and we don't claim the underlying reporting as our own.
AI assistance & human review
Our stories are drafted with the help of large language models and reviewed by the SideLine Desk. Every article carries an AI-assisted label and links to its source(s). We keep the facts, names and scores of the original and don't invent details or quotes.
What we publish (and what we don't)
Every story gets a 0–100 significance read — our editorial judgment of how newsworthy it really is:
Major results, trophies, big transfers and genuinely significant stories are published and promoted. Routine items are kept off search engines, and trivial filler or unconfirmed rumours we don't publish at all. We deliberately run fewer, higher-signal stories rather than everything that scrolls past.
Sourcing & predictions
Every story lists the outlets it draws from. Our “SideLine Prediction” on match previews is analytical context only — no betting odds and no bookmaker references.
