Ethics, Corrections & Editorial Policy

These ethics and editorial policies outline our expectations of employee behaviour towards readers and members of society. HotNaija stands for the core values of synergy, honesty, and integrity. As such, we expect all organisation members to be directed by the same values in their judgment and behaviour. Open communication and expression should be guided by the desire for a respectful, safe, and collaborative working environment.

Compliance with law

Journalists must protect the company and its legal interests by complying with all environmental, trading, safety, and privacy laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Professionalism

Journalists must show integrity and professionalism in every aspect of conduct.

Integrity

All journalists should fulfil their work with integrity and respect toward our stakeholders. Members are discouraged from accepting gifts from clients or partners for the benefit of another party. We are all expected to avoid any personal, financial or other interests that may interfere with the quality of our journalism.

Editorial Policy

When journalists alter or make corrections to an already published article, they must append a note indicating whatever changes they have made to the end of that article.

Disciplinary Actions

Journalists who repeatedly or deliberately fail to follow our code of conduct will meet an appropriate disciplinary action including, but not limited to, demotion, reprimand, detraction of benefits, suspension, or termination.
