Editorial Standards

Our commitment to independent, accurate and clearly-sourced business and finance journalism.

Business Bagel exists to make South African business and finance news fast, clear and trustworthy. These are the standards we hold ourselves to.

Independence

Our editorial decisions are our own. Commercial partnerships never determine what we cover or the conclusions we reach.

Accuracy & sourcing

We aim to get it right. Our reporting is based on credible, verifiable sources, and where we summarise or build on another outlet’s reporting we credit and link to the original.

Use of automation

Some of our daily news briefs are compiled with the help of automation to move quickly — but everything is reviewed by our team, fact-checked against trusted sources, and sourced before it’s published.

Advertising vs editorial

Sponsored and branded content is always clearly labelled and kept separate from our independent editorial coverage.

Corrections

We correct mistakes promptly and transparently. If you spot something that’s wrong, please tell us via our Contact page and we’ll put it right.
