Fact-Checking Policy

Fact-Checking Policy

Fact-Checking Policy explains how Showbiz.Africa works to verify entertainment coverage before and after publication.

What We Check

We pay close attention to names, dates, titles, credits, award records, release information, streaming details, public statements, rankings, locations, relationships, and financial claims.

Preferred Sources

  • Official artist, label, studio, platform, festival, and award announcements
  • Verified social media posts from the people or organizations involved
  • Reputable interviews and established entertainment publications
  • Publicly available databases, streaming platforms, award bodies, and industry sources
  • Direct statements, press releases, and official event materials

Rumors And Developing Stories

We aim to distinguish confirmed reports from rumors, speculation, fan conversation, and developing stories. When information is uncertain, coverage should make that uncertainty clear.

Rankings And Estimates

Rankings, net worth discussions, and industry estimates can involve incomplete public information. We aim to explain methodology and avoid presenting unverifiable estimates as confirmed fact.

For correction requests, see our Corrections Policy.
