About Newsbeat Journal
A calm football publication for readers who want context with the scoreline.
Who makes the publication
Newsbeat Journal is written by a small editorial desk that follows French and European football with an almanac temperament: fewer rushes, more connective tissue. Bylines rotate among Sophie Lambert, Antoine Rivière, Julien Marchand and Camille Perrot, with shared editing under the Rédaction Newsbeat Journal signature.
Editorial principles
We publish reported analysis and explainers. We prefer primary documents, observable match events and named competitions over recycled chatter. When a claim cannot be verified, we either hold the piece or describe the uncertainty plainly. Quotations from public figures appear only when they can be documented; background is attributed to a club source or a person close to the file.
How facts are checked
Match data on the site is taken from fixed competition snapshots used for this edition. Transfer and squad reporting is cross-checked against club communications and league registrations where available. Dates, spellings of club names and competition stages are reviewed before publication. Statistical claims are limited to figures we can source.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we correct it visibly on the relevant page and note the change when the error was material. Readers can request a correction at [email protected]. We acknowledge serious requests and explain the outcome.
