Editorial Policy

Rooted Malawi is an independent publication covering health, mind, money, relationships, food, and everyday living in Malawi. This policy outlines how we create content, how we handle sponsored partnerships, and what you can expect from everything we publish.

Our Editorial Standard

Every article on Rooted Malawi is written to be useful first. We cover topics that matter to people living in Malawi — and we give accurate, practical information grounded in local reality, not imported assumptions.

We take positions. If something doesn't work, we say so. If the evidence is limited, we say that too.

Accuracy and Corrections

When we make a factual error, we correct it promptly and note the correction at the bottom of the article.

If you spot something incorrect, contact us at hello@rootedmalawi.com.

Health Content

Health content on Rooted Malawi is for informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Consult a qualified healthcare provider before making decisions about your health.

We do not promote unproven treatments or make claims that go beyond what available evidence supports.

Sponsored Content

Rooted Malawi may publish sponsored articles and brand partnerships. When we do, the content will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored" at the top of the article.

Sponsorship does not influence our editorial voice or the information we share. We only work with brands whose products are consistent with what we'd recommend regardless of compensation.

We display advertising through Google AdSense. Ads are served automatically and do not represent editorial endorsements.

Use of AI

Rooted Malawi uses AI tools as part of our content production process. All content is reviewed for accuracy, tone, and consistency with our editorial standards before publishing. We do not publish AI output without human review.
