Trust & Transparency
How we work, in plain language. The short version is here; the full policies are one click away.
The detail
How we verify and source stories
News is attributed to credible sources where applicable. Social media posts are treated as unverified unless confirmed by credible evidence. We do not repeat defamatory claims unnecessarily, and never present an unproven allegation as established fact. Full standards: Editorial Policy.
How we label opinion, analysis and partner content
Opinion and analysis carry clear labels distinct from straight news. Where coverage focuses on a commercial partner — currently our Impact Spotlight series on Capital Pay International — it is labelled “Impact Spotlight · Partner-aware” wherever it appears. We disclose such relationships rather than disguise them.
Coverage of Capital Pay International
Articles about Capital Pay International are factual, evidence-based and supported by documentation or credible reporting. Specific figures (users, agents, jobs, donations) are published only with a verifiable basis; otherwise they are labelled developing or omitted. These articles are general information, not financial advice.
Corrections
Tell us what we published, where, and the accurate information — with documentation if available — via the contact page. We acknowledge requests promptly; where we are wrong, we correct the article and note it.
Your privacy
This site collects the minimum needed to run and improve it, and any newsletter signup is used only to send the newsletter. We do not sell personal data. Full notice: Privacy Policy.
Independence & ownership
Maridian is an independent digital newsroom covering South Sudan and the region. Commercial relationships that affect coverage are labelled at the point of content, as described above.
