Author and editorial disclosure

TCGMarketWatch News Desk

Original English-language reporting on releases, rules, products and events across the trading card games covered by TCGMarketWatch.Editorial method last reviewed 1 August 2026

What the byline means

The News Desk byline identifies an original TCGMarketWatch article, not a publisher announcement and not a transcription. Each article has its own headline, reporting structure, context and permanent URL.

The official announcement remains available as a separate, clearly labelled source record. Those source records are excluded from search indexing and link readers to the publisher's page.

Publication standards

  • An allowlisted official English-language primary source and an immutable source snapshot.
  • A structured fact record that supports the names, dates, products, rules or event details reported.
  • Substantive original copy with a clear lead, multiple sections, key facts and reader context.
  • A visible source citation, publication timestamp, author identity and correction path.

AI-assistance disclosure

The News Desk may use AI assistance to turn a checked fact record into a draft. Publication checks enforce required facts, minimum substance, source attribution and versioned content; the source article is not republished.

Articles that have not been independently reviewed by a named human editor say so on the article page. The organizational byline must not be read as a hidden claim of individual human authorship.

Corrections and accountability

A material factual or contextual correction updates the article's editorial modified date while preserving the underlying source record. Readers can report an error through the public corrections and contact pages.
