General Editorial Approach
We uphold the highest standards of journalistic integrity, accuracy, and transparency. Every article published on Motociclismo.pt/en is written by a human journalist and includes a byline to ensure editorial accountability.
Our editorial process spans from story development and curation to publication and post-publication updates. We promptly correct any factual errors to maintain the trust of our readers.
Editorial independence is at the core of our mission. Advertising and commercial relationships do not influence our editorial decisions. When partnerships exist, they are clearly disclosed. All contributors must declare potential conflicts of interest.
We also use editorial tools and insights to highlight the most relevant, accurate, and compelling content across the motorcycling and motorsports ecosystem.
Content Strategy / Syndication
Motociclismo.pt/en offers a comprehensive range of content that reflects the interests of riders, fans, and industry professionals. Our editorial team produces news, features, interviews, technical articles, and multimedia content with a clear focus on motorcycles and motorsport.
In addition to original content, we work with select publishing partners to syndicate high-quality articles. All syndicated content is clearly attributed, includes a visible byline, and links back to the original source.
Syndication partners are carefully evaluated prior to onboarding and are reviewed regularly to ensure alignment with our editorial standards and best practices.
Ethics Policy
We are guided by journalistic ethics rooted in accuracy, independence, and accountability. We strive for fair, balanced coverage and transparent sourcing at all times. Any factual errors are corrected promptly and openly.
Our contributors are prohibited from accepting any form of compensation or incentives in exchange for editorial coverage. Any potential or perceived conflict of interest must be disclosed to and evaluated by senior editorial staff.
Syndication partners are expected to maintain the same ethical standards. Failure to comply may lead to corrective action or termination of the partnership.
Sourcing
While we produce a significant volume of original content, we also incorporate credible third-party information when relevant. All external sources are clearly credited, with hyperlinks and contextual references for full transparency.
We rely only on trustworthy, established sources, applying critical editorial judgment before referencing or quoting third-party material.
Fact-Checking
Accuracy is non-negotiable. Writers are expected to verify all facts — including names, statistics, quotes, and dates — prior to publication.
Contributors must assess the reliability of external sources, considering their origin, potential bias, and method of information gathering.
All content undergoes editorial review. If a fact cannot be independently confirmed, it must be clearly attributed to the original source.
Bylines
Every article published on Motociclismo.pt/en carries a byline. Exceptions are rare and require approval from senior editorial leadership.
This applies equally to original and syndicated content.
Plagiarism
We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy on plagiarism. Reproducing or rephrasing another outlet’s content without proper attribution is considered a serious breach of ethics and may result in termination.
Writers are expected to offer original phrasing, structure, and added value in their coverage. Any partner found committing plagiarism will be removed from the syndication program.
Corrections
Transparency is essential to our credibility. We welcome feedback from our readers. If you identify an error, please contact us at [email protected]. All reported errors are reviewed promptly, and any necessary corrections will be clearly noted at the bottom of the article.
Social Media
Our editorial staff actively engages with our audience through social platforms. While doing so, all team members are expected to maintain professionalism and avoid inappropriate behavior, hate speech, or personal attacks.
Violations of our social media policy may result in disciplinary action.
Artificial Intelligence
At Motociclismo.pt/en, we see AI as a tool that can support — but not replace — editorial judgment. AI may assist in tasks such as transcription, background research, metadata tagging, or improving article drafts. However, every published piece is written, reviewed, and approved by human editors with expertise in the subject matter.
AI-generated content or imagery is permitted only within transparent, human-guided workflows. Fully automated or undisclosed AI use is strictly prohibited and may lead to disciplinary action or termination.
We continuously review developments in AI and update our internal policies accordingly to ensure we maintain credibility and uphold the trust of our readers.
