Trust is in our editorial DNA:

Our reporting rules

Evidence before noise

1. Original reading comes first. Every card opens to our own summary before an external source.
2. Current means dated. We show when a report was published and distinguish today’s development from an older crisis.
3. Claims are labelled. Conflict figures, allegations and early reports can change.
4. Real people, real places. Context photographs are identified honestly and never presented as something they do not show.
5. Credit follows the image. We prefer official, public-domain or openly licensed sources.
6. Corrections are visible. Material errors should be corrected promptly and transparently.

Independence

Readers come before promotion

Our hotel and destination coverage is editorial. Inclusion is not a guarantee or endorsement. Readers should verify prices, visas, safety, permits, accessibility and operating conditions with official sources before travelling.

Where reporting relies on another publication, institution or public record, the article identifies that source after our own summary and context.

Representation

Africa in its full range

We cover West, East, North, Central and Southern Africa, as well as African communities across Europe, the Americas and beyond. The people featured here work across science, medicine, engineering, enterprise, education, public life and the arts.
