Editorial Policy

The Lead conducts a thorough, meticulous review of every article published on our site. Each draft is submitted to our team of editors, who review diction, syntax, and grammar. Our editors embrace the “less is more” philosophy pertaining to sentence and paragraph length, with a focus on the end reader of published content. When necessary, articles are sent back to the original writer for revisions, and any changes are confirmed by an editor before the content is published on the site.

Editorial Mission

The Lead aims to heighten the casual sports fan’s knowledge. We cover big markets and small markets alike by providing commentary and analysis on topics that other outlets overlook. Through our team branch system, we embrace comprehensive coverage of each team, with content crafted by the fans who watch their teams nightly. By fans and for fans, The Lead prides itself on a group of invested contributors who seek to bring authenticity and nuance back to the sports media space.
