Purpose
To ensure the County website remains a transparent, inclusive and representative platform for all affiliated clubs, competitions and members.
Principles
1. Transparency
- All fixtures, results and statistics will continue to be published accurately and consistently.
- Competition administration remains separate from editorial tone or commentary.
2. Balanced Representation
- News coverage should reflect the breadth of county activity, including leagues, county fixtures, club events, development initiatives and open competitions.
- No individual or club should receive disproportionate coverage outside of genuine news value.
3. Inclusive Promotion
- Clubs will be encouraged to submit match reports, photographs and good-news stories.
- Development and community initiatives should be actively highlighted alongside competitive success.
4. Regional Collaboration
- Open tournaments organised by our immediate neighbouring counties shall be promoted where appropriate.
- The website will support reciprocal visibility to encourage participation and strengthen regional relationships.
5. Editorial Neutrality
- Articles involving website administrators or committee members should, where practical, be reviewed by a second person before publication.
- Automated reporting formats should be used where possible to maintain consistency and impartiality.
6. Development Focus
- The website should promote growth of the sport by:
- Showcasing participation
- Supporting recruitment initiatives
- Highlighting volunteer contributions
- Celebrating county representation
Review
This guideline should be reviewed annually to ensure it reflects the evolving needs of the County and its members.
