ZAlebs is committed to accurate, fair and independent journalism. These guidelines explain the standards every member of our newsroom follows.
Accuracy & verification
We verify information with primary sources before publishing. Where a claim cannot be independently confirmed, we label it clearly as a rumour or allegation. Quotes are reproduced faithfully and in context.
Sourcing & attribution
We credit our sources and attribute reporting by other outlets. Images are used with permission or under licence and credited where required.
Independence
Editorial decisions are made independently of commercial interests. Sponsored, affiliate and branded content is clearly labelled and kept separate from news reporting.
Bylines & accountability
Every article carries the name of its author and is reviewed by an editor before publication.
Corrections
When we make a mistake, we correct it promptly and transparently. To report an error, email [email protected].
Use of technology
Any use of automated tools is supervised by our editors, and responsibility for all published content rests with our journalists.
