Our Editorial Standards

  • Accuracy first. We verify information before publishing and credit our sources, with links where they are available online.
  • Clear sourcing. When a claim comes from a social media post, a statement or a single source, we say so. We label unverified material as unverified.
  • Fair treatment of people named. People accused of wrongdoing are described as alleged until a court decides, and we invite them to respond.
  • Original reporting. Our stories are written by our own team. When we build on another outlet’s reporting, we credit and link to it. We respect copyright and the privacy of individuals.
  • Independence from advertising. Advertisers and partners do not influence what we publish. Sponsored or promotional content, if any, is clearly labelled.

Corrections Policy

We correct mistakes promptly and openly. When we correct a published story, we update the article and add a note at the bottom saying what changed. To report an error, email editor@dailytalk.com.ng with the article link and the details. We aim to reply within 24 to 48 hours.
