How We Select and Report Each Story
Every article starts with a verifiable data source — not an opinion or a market rumour.
Sportskivodic's editorial process begins with publicly available data: government statistical releases, RBI publications, state budget documents, NSSO survey results, and EPFO monthly reports. A story is commissioned when the data reveals a trend, a contradiction, or a gap between official narrative and measurable reality. Reporters are required to cite primary sources in every piece, and no article moves to publication without a second read by a senior editor for factual accuracy. We do not publish price predictions, trading recommendations, or speculative commentary. Our readers are professionals, students, and citizens who want to understand the economic environment around them — not to be told what to do with their money.
When the GST council amended the framework for online gaming in mid-2023, every outlet ran the same government press release. Sportskivodic was the only one that ran an independent breakdown of the revenue implications for Karnataka's hospitality sector two days later. That's the kind of regional depth I pay attention to.
