Editorial Guidelines

AfroBPM documents a fast-moving Afro House landscape. These guidelines keep our journalism trustworthy, inclusive, and accountable to the artists, promoters, and communities we cover.

Accuracy first

  • Every factual claim is sourced from direct interviews, official statements, or verified documentation.
  • Names, song titles, and release dates are double checked against label or artist supplied metadata.
  • Speculation is clearly labeled as analysis or commentary, never presented as fact.

Inclusive coverage

  • We actively seek voices across the African continent and diaspora, highlighting underrepresented regions.
  • Content is edited for language that respects cultural context and avoids stereotypes.
  • Photography and artwork credits are preserved wherever assets are published.

Clear separation of promo and editorial

  • Sponsored activations are labeled and handled by a separate partnerships team.
  • Editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers or campaign spend.
  • Writers must disclose conflicts of interest with labels, artists, or management.

Corrections policy

  • If an error is identified, we update the article promptly and add a dated correction note.
  • Major updates that materially change a story trigger a full re-publish with editor approval.
  • Readers can request corrections by emailing editorial@afrobpm.com with cited references.
