Editorial Policy
The White-Eagles Post aims to provide credible, balanced and purposeful journalism that informs readers across Africa, its diaspora and the wider world. These principles guide our editorial work.
Accuracy and verification
We aim to verify material facts before publication, distinguish confirmed information from claims or allegations, and attribute information to appropriate sources where necessary.
Fairness and context
Stories should be presented with sufficient context for readers to understand the issue. Where a report contains significant criticism or allegations about an identifiable person or organisation, reasonable efforts should be made to reflect a relevant response where appropriate.
Independence and conflicts of interest
Editorial judgement should not be improperly influenced by personal, political, commercial or other outside interests. Writers and editors should disclose material conflicts that could reasonably affect the credibility of their work.
News, analysis and opinion
We seek to distinguish factual reporting from commentary and opinion. Opinion pieces may express a clear viewpoint, but they should not knowingly misrepresent material facts.
Sources and attribution
Information obtained from other publications, institutions, documents, interviews or public sources should be appropriately attributed. Anonymous sourcing should be used carefully and only where there is a legitimate editorial reason to protect a source.
Images, media and captions
Images should be relevant to the story and should not be presented in a way that materially misleads readers. Credits, captions and source information should be included where appropriate.
Artificial intelligence and editorial responsibility
Technology may assist research, production or administrative tasks, but responsibility for published editorial content remains with the publication and its authorised editorial team. Material facts should be checked before publication.
Corrections and updates
When a significant factual error is identified, we aim to correct it promptly and transparently. Readers can report a possible error by emailing newsroom@whiteeaglespost.com with the article link and supporting details.
Public interest and responsible reporting
Editorial decisions should consider the public value of publication alongside potential harm. Particular care should be taken with sensitive personal information, children, victims, vulnerable people and material that could create unnecessary risk.
Editorial authority
Final publication decisions are made through The White-Eagles Post editorial workflow and authorised publication roles. This policy may be reviewed as the publication develops.
