Afrispora News is committed to accuracy, fairness, and responsible documentation of African diaspora achievement and influence. This policy explains how we handle editorial corrections, clarifications, and content submissions.
1. Editorial Standards
Afrispora News operates with the understanding that accuracy is foundational to credibility.
All published content is:
- Reviewed for factual accuracy and context
- Assessed against editorial standards before publication
- Subject to revision where new or corrected information becomes available
Despite best efforts, errors or omissions may occasionally occur.
2. Corrections & Clarifications
a. How Corrections Are Handled
When a factual error is identified and verified:
- The content will be corrected promptly
- A clarification or correction note may be added where appropriate
- Significant corrections will be made transparently
Afrispora News does not remove content solely because it is unfavourable, provided it is accurate and fairly presented.
b. Requesting a Correction
If you believe content published on Afrispora News contains a factual error, you may request a correction by contacting us with:
- The article title or URL
- A clear description of the issue
- Supporting evidence or credible sources
Requests without substantiation may not be acted upon.
3. Editorial Independence
Correction decisions are made solely by the Afrispora News editorial team.
- Corrections are based on verified facts, not external pressure
- Editorial judgment is not overridden by personal, political, or commercial interests
- Disagreement with editorial framing does not automatically constitute an error
4. Content Submissions
Afrispora News accepts information and submissions for editorial consideration, including:
- Story tips
- Background information
- Public-interest documentation
- Corrections or updates to existing coverage
Submission does not guarantee publication.
5. Submission Review Process
All submissions are:

- Subject to editing for clarity, length, and context
Afrispora News reserves the right to:

6. Attribution & Verification
Where submissions lead to publication:

Afrispora News does not publish unverified claims.
7. Right of Reply
Where appropriate, individuals or organisations directly affected by coverage may be offered a reasonable opportunity to respond or clarify factual matters.
8. Removal Requests
Afrispora News does not routinely remove published content unless:
- It is factually incorrect and cannot be corrected
- It violates legal or ethical standards
- There is a clear and substantiated reason to do so
Requests based solely on reputational discomfort are generally not sufficient.
9. Contact Information

Editorial Principle
Afrispora News exists to document record, not manufacture narrative.
