Sport, researched

We go past what happened to explain what it changes

Using the research, data and primary sources behind the story, so an intelligent sports reader leaves with a changed understanding, not just another headline.

The eight desks

All desks

Each desk is a question: a lens on the story, not a prose template.

How we research

Research record, not a methods lecture

Rigour stays backstage. Every article still ends with a Research record: sources used, sources investigated but not used, image credits, and named entities when products or organisations appear. The journalism stays onstage.
