The African Meridian is committed to accurate, fair, and independent journalism. This page outlines the standards our newsroom holds itself to.
Accuracy
We verify facts before publication using multiple sources wherever possible, and we correct errors promptly and transparently when they occur. Corrections are noted directly on the affected article.
Independence
Our reporting is not influenced by advertisers, governments, or political interests. Editorial decisions — what we cover and how — are made independently of commercial and sponsorship arrangements, which are always kept separate from the newsroom.
Sourcing
We identify sources by name wherever possible. When a source must remain anonymous — for example, to protect them from retaliation — we tell readers why, and we hold anonymous claims to the same standard of verification as named ones.
Fairness
Individuals and organizations who are the subject of critical reporting are given a fair opportunity to respond before publication, and their response is reflected in the story.
Corrections
If you believe a story contains an error, please contact us at media@africanmedia.com with the article link and details, and our editorial team will review it promptly.
