Our Promise to Readers
AfroYard exists to cover African entertainment honestly, accurately, and independently. This policy explains the standards behind every story we publish.
Independence
Our editorial decisions are made by our editors — not by advertisers, labels, studios, or publicists. Coverage cannot be bought. Receiving a press release, an advance stream, or an event invitation never guarantees a story, and it never guarantees a favorable one.
Accuracy and Sourcing
We verify facts before we publish. We rely on primary sources — artists, filmmakers, official statements, and people with direct knowledge — and we attribute information to its source. When a story is developing and details are unconfirmed, we say so plainly.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it quickly and transparently. Significant corrections are noted on the article itself. To request a correction, email content@afroyard.net with a link to the story and the details.
Sponsored Content
If content is paid for or produced in partnership with a brand, it is clearly labeled as such. Sponsored content is never disguised as independent editorial.
Reviews and Opinion
Reviews and opinion pieces reflect the honest view of the writer. We do not adjust scores or takes to please artists, labels, or partners.
