Editorial Standards
Useful reporting starts with clear sources and honest context.
ZinstaBlog covers Zambia news, sports, public affairs, business, entertainment, and community updates. We aim to make every published item clear about what is known, where the information came from, and what may still change.
Breaking stories and live sports information can develop quickly. We update material when better information becomes available and point readers to primary or official sources whenever possible.
Last updated August 4, 2026
Visible sourcing
Imported and summarized reports identify the original publisher and link to the source when available.
Verification
Names, dates, scores, official statements, and public figures should be checked before publication.
Corrections
Material factual errors are corrected promptly and developing stories are updated as facts change.
Sources and attribution
Original reporting should identify the reporter or newsroom desk. Reports based on another publisher, public statement, official match centre, or public document should name and link that source where available.
For football fixtures, results, squads, disciplinary decisions, and competition rules, we prefer FAZ, CAF, FIFA, official leagues, clubs, and competition match centres. For national data and public announcements, we prefer the responsible ministry, agency, Parliament, ZANIS, ZamStats, or another primary record.
Verification and developing stories
A claim from a party, campaign, witness, social-media account, or unnamed source is presented as a claim unless independently confirmed. Headlines should not turn allegations into established facts.
Live scores, kick-off times, election figures, and breaking-news details may change. We label developing information and update it when an authoritative source publishes a correction or final result.
Corrections
Readers can request a correction through the Contact Us page. Include the article link, the disputed statement, and supporting evidence. We review requests and correct material errors without quietly changing the meaning of the record.
Opinion and user submissions
Opinion, commentary, sponsored material, and user-submitted posts should be distinguishable from newsroom reporting. Public submissions may be edited for clarity, rejected, or removed when they are misleading, unsafe, unlawful, abusive, or unsupported.
