AFRICA.ROCKS follows basic editorial ethics focused on accuracy, transparency, and independence.
Conflicts of interest and disclosure
We disclose relevant relationships when they intersect with editorial coverage. This includes partnerships, collaborations, or direct involvement in release support. Disclosure is made within the article when it materially affects a reader’s understanding of the context.
Advertising and sponsored content
If AFRICA.ROCKS publishes sponsored content, it will be clearly labelled. Sponsored content does not dictate broader editorial coverage, and it does not guarantee favourable assessment in reviews.
Respectful conduct and representation
We treat artists, communities, and readers with professional respect. We do not publish defamatory claims, doxxing, harassment, or private personal information. We avoid framing that reduces artists to identity markers or stereotypes. When cultural, religious, or political context is relevant, we handle it with care and with reliance on primary perspectives.
Corrections and accountability
When we make mistakes, we correct them. See the Corrections Policy: https://africa.rocks/corrections-policy
