Editorial Standards & Corrections Policy
Our commitment to truth, accuracy, independence, and accountability across every article published on Todaynews.ng.
1. Fact Verification & Multi-Sourcing
Todaynews.ng requires all news stories to be cross-verified across at least two independent primary or secondary sources before publication. Unverified breaking developments are clearly marked with qualifying legal language such as "allegedly", "according to preliminary reports", or "subject to official confirmation".
2. Anti-Misinformation, Anti-Censorship & AI Algorithms
Todaynews.ng operates as an AI-powered news channel focused on reducing misinformation and news censorship across Nigeria. We utilize complex algorithms to locate important news — with specialized emphasis on security-related news — in order to keep Nigerians safe. While automated intelligence gathering assists rapid drafting, every article undergoes rigorous 100% human-editor verification and approval prior to publication.
3. Transparent Corrections & Updates Policy
When factual errors or typographical inaccuracies occur, we correct them swiftly and transparently:
- Minor Updates: Spelling or grammatical fixes are corrected directly without altering the fundamental reporting.
- Factual Corrections: If a substantial error is discovered, an explicit "CORRECTION" note is appended to the top or bottom of the article specifying what was corrected and when.
- Developing News: As breaking stories unfold, articles are updated with a visible timestamp indicating the latest revision time.
4. Independence, Attribution & Fair Use
Todaynews.ng is strictly non-partisan and independent of political or financial influences. External quotes, press statements, and third-party data (e.g. Central Bank rates, security advisories) are attributed clearly to their originating institutions.
