Editorial principles

Africa Prisma publishes practical guides and stories about Africa, beginning with Mali and Ghana. These principles guide the development of our publication.

Local relevance and sourcing

Country-specific claims should be supported by identifiable sources and current context. General planning advice must not be presented as verified local reporting. Where a detail has not been verified, we should say so rather than invent precision.

AI assistance and pen names

AI tools may assist with drafts, organisation and translation. AI output is not a source or proof of a claim. The names used on our existing articles are editorial pen names; they do not identify verified local reporters or medical professionals. Africa Prisma is responsible for the publication of these articles.

Health and other specialist topics

Practical checklists do not replace medical, legal, architectural or financial advice. We must not imply that an article has been reviewed by a qualified professional unless that review actually took place and is disclosed.

Images

Illustrative AI-generated scenes must be labelled as illustrations. They should not be used as evidence of an actual person, place or event. Photographs should have appropriate rights and attribution.

Commercial content

Paid features and partnerships must be clearly labelled. Paid links use the sponsored attribute. Payment does not establish that a business is independently verified, the best provider or recommended by an expert. We do not sell guaranteed search rankings.

Corrections

Readers can report an error through our corrections page. Substantial factual changes should be explained in the affected article.
