News Access NG is committed to accurate, fair, and responsible journalism. These editorial standards guide how we source, verify, write, and publish the news and information we share with our readers across Nigeria and beyond.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We strive to ensure that every story we publish is factually correct at the time of publication. Our reporters and editors verify information through multiple sources wherever possible before a story goes live. When we report on statements made by public officials, organisations, or individuals, we clearly attribute those statements to their source.
Sourcing and Verification
- We prioritise information from official statements, press releases, verified social media accounts, and direct interviews.
- Where a claim cannot be independently verified, we clearly label it as such (for example, “according to reports” or “unconfirmed”).
- We avoid publishing unverified rumours or speculation as fact.
- When we rely on other news organisations for information, we credit the original source.
Separating News from Opinion
News Access NG clearly distinguishes factual news reporting from opinion and commentary. Articles published under our Opinion category reflect the views of the individual author and do not necessarily represent the views of News Access NG as a publication.
Corrections and Accountability
We take factual accuracy seriously. If we make an error, we are committed to correcting it promptly and transparently. Read our full Corrections Policy for details on how we handle and disclose corrections.
Author Accountability
Every news article published on News Access NG carries a byline identifying the reporter or editor responsible for the story. Readers can view author profiles to see other work published by the same reporter.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, and any political or commercial interests. Advertising content on our site is clearly labelled as such and is never presented as independently reported news.
Fairness and Balance
Where a story involves conflicting claims or perspectives, particularly on political, social, or legal matters, we aim to represent relevant viewpoints fairly and give affected parties an opportunity to respond where appropriate.
Contact and Feedback
We welcome feedback from our readers, including concerns about accuracy or fairness in our reporting. Readers can reach our editorial team through our Contact Us page or by emailing [email protected].
