Editorial Policy

Last updated: 2026

NigeriaNewsFeed is a news aggregation platform and community forum serving Nigerian audiences. This editorial policy outlines how we source, process, and present content to maintain transparency, accuracy, and trust with our readers.

1. Content Sources

Our news content is sourced from established, reputable Nigerian and international news publishers through licensed RSS feeds. We aggregate stories from multiple outlets to provide readers with a comprehensive view of current events. Every aggregated article clearly identifies the original source and includes a direct link to the full original story.

Sources are selected based on their editorial reputation, factual accuracy record, and relevance to Nigerian audiences. We regularly review our source list and remove outlets that do not meet our standards.

2. AI-Assisted Summaries

We use artificial intelligence technology to generate concise summaries of aggregated news articles. These summaries are designed to give readers a quick overview before they visit the original source for the full story.

Our AI summarization process:

• Summaries are generated from the original article text and are clearly labeled as summaries
• Each summary links to the original article so readers can verify information and read the complete report
• AI-generated content is reviewed through automated quality checks including length, coherence, and factual consistency with the source material
• We do not fabricate quotes, statistics, or facts — all information in summaries is drawn from the source article

We believe in transparency about our use of AI and are committed to ensuring that automated tools enhance, not replace, quality journalism.

3. Original Content Standards

In addition to aggregated news, NigeriaNewsFeed features original content contributed by community members and editorial staff. All original content must meet the following standards:

• Accuracy: Claims of fact should be verifiable and sourced where possible
• Fairness: Content should present multiple perspectives on contentious issues
• Respect: Content must not contain hate speech, harassment, or unlawful material
• Originality: Plagiarism and unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted material are strictly prohibited

4. Community Contributions

NigeriaNewsFeed is a community-driven platform where registered users can post discussions, opinions, and marketplace listings. While we moderate community content for compliance with our Terms of Service, community posts represent the views of their authors and do not constitute editorial endorsements by NigeriaNewsFeed.

5. Moderation and Quality Control

We employ a multi-layered approach to content quality:

• Automated filtering: Anti-spam systems screen content for spam, harassment, and prohibited material before publication
• Duplicate detection: A five-layer deduplication system ensures we do not republish the same story multiple times
• Human review: Flagged content and user reports are reviewed by moderators who can remove, edit, or approve content
• Community reporting: Readers can report inaccurate, misleading, or inappropriate content through our reporting system

6. Corrections and Retractions

If an error is found in our content, we are committed to correcting it promptly. Readers who identify factual errors can report them through our Contact Page or the in-page reporting feature. Significant corrections are noted on the affected content.

7. Advertising and Sponsored Content

Editorial content is produced independently from our advertising operations. Advertisements and sponsored listings are clearly distinguished from editorial content. Advertisers do not influence our editorial decisions, news selection, or content presentation.

8. Copyright and Attribution

We respect intellectual property rights. All aggregated content is properly attributed to original publishers with direct links to source articles. We comply with copyright law and respond to valid takedown requests as detailed in our Copyright Policy.

9. Editorial Independence

NigeriaNewsFeed maintains editorial independence. Our news selection is driven by relevance to Nigerian audiences and public interest, not by commercial, political, or personal interests. We strive to present diverse viewpoints and avoid partisan bias in our news aggregation.
