HiviSasa aims to publish accurate, responsible and useful journalism focused primarily on Tanzania and East Africa.
Accuracy
We make reasonable efforts to verify factual information before publication.
We prefer primary and authoritative sources whenever practical, including:
- Government institutions
- Official documents
- Company announcements
- Public records
- Interviews
- Direct statements
- Research institutions
- Reputable news organizations
Originality
HiviSasa does not intentionally scrape, synonymize, lightly rewrite or reproduce articles from other websites.
When information originates elsewhere, we aim to provide our own reporting, explanation, context or analysis.
Headlines
Headlines should accurately represent the article and should not deliberately mislead readers.
Developing Stories
News can change quickly. We may update stories when new verified information becomes available.
Opinion
Opinion and commentary content should be distinguishable from straight factual reporting where appropriate.
Artificial Intelligence
AI-assisted tools may be used for limited support such as:
- Research organization
- Transcription
- Editing
- Grammar improvement
- Formatting
- Summarizing source material for internal editorial use
AI-generated text should not be published automatically without editorial review.
Important facts must be checked before publication.
Corrections
Material factual errors should be corrected when identified and verified.
