Editorial Policy

Last updated: [Feb 03 2026]

Our Mission

Techtrends.Africa is an independent African technology publication committed to accurate, responsible, and contextual reporting on technology, innovation, startups, policy, and digital transformation across Africa.

Our goal is to inform, educate, and provide insight — not to promote corporate messaging.

Editorial Independence

All editorial decisions at Techtrends.Africa are made independently by our editorial team.

We maintain a strict separation between:

  • Editorial content

  • Sponsored content

  • Advertorials

  • Press releases

Commercial relationships do not influence our news coverage.

Content Types We Publish

1. News Reporting
Original reporting, analysis, and contextual coverage of technology-related developments across Africa.

2. Analysis & Features
In-depth explanations, background context, and implications of major tech, business, and policy trends.

3. Opinion
Clearly labeled opinion pieces reflecting the views of the author, not the publication.

4. Press Releases
Corporate or institutional announcements are published only when they are relevant to our audience.
Press releases are:

  • Clearly labeled as “Press Release”

  • Edited for clarity and accuracy

  • Not presented as independent reporting

Sources & Accuracy

We verify information using:

  • Primary sources

  • Official statements

  • Credible secondary sources

Where information is developing or unconfirmed, this is clearly stated.

Corrections Policy

Accuracy matters to us.

If an error is identified:

  • We correct it promptly

  • We note the correction transparently at the end of the article when appropriate

Readers may report errors via our contact page.

Authorship & Accountability

All editorial content is attributed to a named author or the Techtrends.Africa editorial team.

Author profiles include relevant background information to establish subject-matter credibility.

Ethics & Sponsored Content

Sponsored content is:

  • Clearly labeled

  • Visually distinguished from editorial content

  • Never disguised as news
