Editorial Policy & Corrections.
How the mystocks.africa newsroom reports on African capital markets — and what we do when we get something wrong.
1. What We Publish
Our newsroom covers African capital markets: exchange announcements, listings and delistings, corporate results, IPOs, market performance, and investor education across the JSE, NGX, NSE, GSE, BSE, LuSE, ZSE and BRVM.
Content appears in two surfaces: the Newsroom (reported articles and analysis) and Market Pulse (shorter market intelligence updates). Each article is labeled with a category — Market News, Analysis, Education, or Platform Announcement — so readers can distinguish reporting from opinion and from company communications.
2. Sourcing & Accuracy
We base reporting on primary sources wherever possible: official exchange announcements and filings (e.g. JSE SENS, NGX disclosures), audited company results, regulator publications, and verifiable market data. Market figures quoted in articles reference the exchange data feeds used across the platform.
Where a story relies on third-party reporting, we attribute it. We do not publish rumors as fact. If material facts cannot be verified, we either say so explicitly or do not publish.
3. Editorial Independence
Editorial content is produced separately from the platform's commercial operations. Listed companies do not pay for news coverage, and coverage decisions are not influenced by whether a security is available on the platform.
Content published on behalf of the platform itself (product updates, feature launches) is labeled as a Platform Announcement. Editorial content is journalism about the markets — it is not investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. See our Risk Disclosure.
4. Bylines & Accountability
Articles carry the byline of the person responsible for them, linked to an author profile. Pieces produced collectively are attributed to the mystocks.africa Editorial team.
Writing and research tools may assist our work, but every article is reviewed and approved by a member of the editorial team before publication, and the named byline is accountable for its accuracy.
5. Honest Dates
Every article shows its original publication date, which is set once and never changed by later edits. When an article is meaningfully updated after publication, an “Updated” date is displayed alongside the original date.
We do not artificially refresh publication dates to make older content appear new.
6. Corrections Policy
We correct errors promptly and transparently. If you believe an article contains a factual error, email editorial@mystocks.africa with the article link and the issue. Reports are reviewed by the editorial team, normally within two business days.
- Factual errors are corrected in the article, and the visible “Updated” date reflects the change.
- Material errors — ones that change the substance of a story (wrong figures, wrong company, wrong outcome) — additionally receive a correction note in the article explaining what was wrong and when it was fixed.
- Minor issues such as typos or formatting are fixed without a note.
- Articles are taken down only in exceptional circumstances (legal requirement, fundamental sourcing failure); a correction is always preferred over silent removal.
This policy covers all editorial surfaces: the Newsroom and Market Pulse.
