Editorial Charter

Editorial Independence

At Nigeria Morning, editorial decisions are made by our experienced newsroom team, ensuring that no outside influence dictates what we publish.

Our newsroom maintains complete independence, free from any external pressures or influences, political or otherwise.

Sourcing and Verification

We prioritize transparency and accuracy in all our reporting, especially in areas such as politics, business, and technology.

Anonymity is granted only when sources provide critical information that cannot be obtained publicly and where disclosure might risk their safety.

• Claims of fact are thoroughly verified against reliable sources before publication.
• We cross-reference information from multiple trustworthy sources to ensure accuracy.
• Anonymous sources are vetted rigorously by our editorial team to confirm their credibility.

Content Formats and Labelling

Nigeria Morning clearly differentiates between reporting, analysis, and opinion, ensuring readers can easily distinguish each format.

All articles are labelled appropriately; news reports present facts, analysis pieces offer deeper insights, and opinion articles represent the views of their writers.

Corrections and Criticism

We are committed to correcting errors promptly and transparently directly within the article.

Individuals or entities criticized in our articles are given the opportunity to respond, and such responses are appended to the article where relevant.

• Errors are corrected as soon as they are identified, with an explanation of the change.
• Significant corrections or clarifications are noted at the top or bottom of the article.
• We welcome readers to point out any errors through our editorial mailbox, mark@mark.com.

Handling Sensitive Information

Nigeria Morning approaches sensitive topics, especially in the realms of politics and culture, with care and respect for all individuals involved.

We take extra precautions to protect the identities of private individuals and sensitive information, assessing the potential impact of our reporting.

Funding and commercial content

morningdigest.net is funded by Mark Antoine. Advertising, sponsorship and affiliate arrangements pay for the work.

Commercial content — sponsored articles, partner posts, advertorial — is labelled at the top of the page, before the reader has spent time on it. It is never made to look like an article the newsroom wrote.

An advertiser buys space. It does not buy coverage, favourable treatment, or the removal of a story.

Complaints Process

We value reader feedback and provide a clear process for addressing complaints about our content.

Complaints can be submitted via mark@mark.com, and each is reviewed thoroughly by our editorial team, with responses provided in a timely manner.
