Editorial Policy

Mission & Standards

Our mission is to provide accurate, fair, and independent news and analysis focused on the Horn of Africa. We are committed to the highest standards of journalistic integrity.

Fact-Checking Policy

We verify all facts for every single story. Our editors review all content before publication to ensure accuracy, fairness, and proper context. When we use anonymous sources, we do so sparingly and only when necessary to protect the source or obtain critical information that cannot be obtained otherwise, and always with the approval of a senior editor.

Ethics & Independence

We maintain a strict separation between our editorial coverage and any business or advertising interests. Advertisers and donors have no influence over our coverage. Our journalists must disclose any potential conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from coverage where necessary.

Corrections

We are committed to correcting errors promptly and transparently. Please see our Corrections Policy for more details on how we handle updates and corrections.
