Editorial Policy – Eke News
At Eke News, we are committed to responsible, independent, and transparent journalism. Our editorial process is guided by clear standards designed to ensure accuracy, fairness, and accountability in every piece we publish.
This policy outlines how we produce, review, and update our content.
1. Accuracy & Verification
Accuracy is fundamental to our reporting.
- All factual claims are reviewed before publication.
- We rely on credible sources, official statements, publicly available data, and reputable research institutions.
- When reporting on developing stories, we clearly indicate when information is preliminary or subject to change.
If a factual error is identified, we correct it promptly and transparently.
2. Fairness & Balance
We strive to present information in context and, where appropriate, include relevant perspectives on complex political, economic, and social issues.
Our goal is to inform readers — not to inflame, mislead, or sensationalize.
3. Editorial Independence
Eke News operates independently.
- Editorial decisions are made without political or corporate influence.
- Advertisers and sponsors do not control or preview editorial content.
- Sponsored content is clearly labeled and separated from newsroom reporting.
Opinion pieces reflect the views of their authors and do not necessarily represent the official editorial position of Eke News.
4. Use of Sources
We prioritize transparency in sourcing.
- Sources are credited wherever possible.
- Anonymous sources are used only when necessary to protect safety or confidentiality.
- When anonymity is granted, we evaluate credibility carefully before publication.
5. Use of AI & Digital Tools
Eke News may use AI-assisted tools to support research, editing, and content organization. However:
- All content is reviewed and approved by human editors.
- AI tools do not replace editorial oversight.
- We do not publish fully automated content without review.
Our responsibility to readers remains human-led and editorially accountable.
6. Corrections & Updates
When errors are identified:
- Corrections are made as soon as possible.
- Significant updates may include a clarification note.
- Readers may contact us to report inaccuracies.
To request a correction, please email:
Include the article title and a description of the issue.
7. Opinion & Guest Contributions
Opinion, commentary, and guest columns are clearly labeled.
These pieces may present arguments or perspectives that differ from newsroom reporting. Publication of a guest contribution does not imply endorsement.
8. Advertising & Sponsored Content
Sponsored or paid content is clearly marked as:
- “Sponsored”
- “Advertisement”
- “Paid Partnership”
Advertising relationships do not influence editorial coverage or story selection.
9. Accountability & Reader Engagement
We welcome reader feedback and take concerns seriously.
Our editorial standards evolve as media practices, technology, and public expectations change. We remain committed to maintaining credibility and public trust.
