EDITORIAL POLICY
TechRobust is committed to accurate, fair, and independent technology journalism. This page sets out the standards we hold ourselves to and explains how we handle errors and corrections.
Our Editorial Mission
TechRobust exists to provide clear, accurate, and original reporting on technology, startups, artificial intelligence, and digital business — with a particular focus on emerging markets and the African technology ecosystem.
We serve readers who need to understand what is happening in the technology world and why it matters. Our editorial decisions are driven by news value, public interest, and journalistic merit — not by commercial considerations.
Independence
TechRobust editorial content is produced independently of our commercial operations. Advertisers, sponsors, and business partners have no influence over our reporting, article selection, headlines, or editorial tone.
We do not publish paid guest posts, sponsored articles presented as editorial content, or press releases repackaged as original reporting. All advertising and sponsored content is clearly labelled.
Accuracy & Verification
Every article published on TechRobust is reviewed by a member of our editorial team before publication. We verify claims with primary sources, official statements, and credible public records before publishing them as fact.
Where information cannot be independently verified, we say so clearly in the article. We do not publish rumours, speculation, or unverified claims without clearly labelling them as such.
Quotes are attributed to named sources wherever possible. Anonymous sources are only used when information is of significant public interest and the source has a legitimate reason for confidentiality.
Authorship & Expertise
All articles published on TechRobust are written by real journalists and writers whose identities are publicly disclosed. Author profiles — including names, roles, and professional backgrounds — are available on our Our Authors page.
We do not publish AI-generated articles as original editorial content. Where technology tools are used to assist with research or editing, human editorial judgement and verification remain the final authority.
Conflicts of Interest
TechRobust writers and editors are expected to disclose any potential conflicts of interest relating to companies, products, or topics they are covering. Where a conflict exists, we reassign coverage to a different writer or clearly disclose the relationship to readers.
TechRobust does not accept free products, services, or other gifts in exchange for favourable coverage. If review products are received, this is disclosed within the relevant article.
Corrections Policy
TechRobust takes errors seriously. When we publish inaccurate or misleading information, we correct it promptly and transparently.
Minor corrections — such as typographical errors, formatting issues, or small factual clarifications — are corrected directly in the article without a formal notice.
Significant corrections — such as incorrect facts, misattributed quotes, or material misrepresentations — are corrected with a clearly labelled correction notice at the top or bottom of the article explaining what was changed and why.
We do not silently delete published articles to avoid accountability. If an article is retracted, a retraction notice is published in its place explaining the reason.
To report an error, contact our editorial team at [email protected] with the subject line Correction Request. Include the article URL and a clear description of the error. We aim to review all correction requests within two business days.
Updates to Published Content
Technology news evolves quickly. When a developing story changes materially after publication, we may update the original article to reflect new information. Updated articles are labelled with the update date and a brief note explaining what was added or changed.
Complaints
If you believe a TechRobust article has breached our editorial standards, contains defamatory content, or violates your rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We take all complaints seriously and will investigate and respond within five business days.
