Buying Sandlot provides independent reporting and analysis on the business of youth sports. Our editorial decisions are guided by the interests of our readers, not by advertisers or sponsors. These principles apply to our written reporting, videos, and audio coverage.
Independent coverage
Our editorial coverage is not for sale. Advertising or sponsorship does not purchase coverage, favorable treatment, or control over our reporting. Content produced as part of a paid commercial arrangement is clearly identified and distinguished from independent editorial work.
Commercial relationships
Buying Sandlot works with sponsors across our digital publications and in-person events. Some of those sponsors may also be companies we cover. Those commercial relationships are separate from our editorial decisions and do not determine whether or how we cover a company.
Sponsored content
Paid content is clearly labeled as sponsored content or identified as produced in partnership with a named sponsor. These disclosures distinguish commercial content from independent reporting across our written, video, and audio formats.
Our use of AI
Buying Sandlot’s journalism is created by people, for people. Our team develops, reports, produces, and edits our core written, video, and audio coverage.
We use AI to support business workflows, assist with editing and fact-checking, and occasionally generate illustrative images. These tools support our team’s work, but they do not replace our reporting or editorial judgment.
Much of our coverage involves new information obtained firsthand through our reporting and conversations with people in the youth sports industry. We believe our readers are best served by that original work, rather than AI-generated coverage that substitutes for it.
