Our editorial ethics policy

Trust is everything we have. These are the rules we follow every day.

Accuracy

We report facts we can verify, from sources we name. When sources disagree, we say so.

Sources

We rely on news agencies, official documents and reputable outlets, and we link to them in every story.

Independence

Our editors decide what we publish. Owners, advertisers and partners do not.

Fairness

We give the relevant sides of a story and avoid loaded labels. We report on private individuals only when there is a clear public interest.

Sensitive stories

We take extra care with stories about elections, ethnicity, religion, violence and children. We do not publish material that incites hatred or violence.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it quickly and say so at the end of the story, with the date. Spotted an error? Write to hello@dondoo.co.ke.

Code of conduct

We follow the Code of Conduct for the Practice of Journalism in Kenya, set out in the Media Council Act, 2013.
