Editorial standards
How we source, check, publish and correct our journalism.
Accuracy
We report what we can verify. Figures come from the people who publish them — Statistics South Africa, the South African Reserve Bank, the JSE, company results and regulators — and we say where each number comes from and when it was published.
Every story is edited
Reporters file stories to our editors. An editor checks facts, sources, fairness and headlines before a story is approved, and only then is it published or scheduled. Nobody can publish their own work without that review.
Fairness
People and companies we write about critically are given a fair chance to respond before publication, and we report their response.
Corrections
When we get something wrong we fix it promptly and add a correction note at the end of the story saying what changed. We do not quietly edit errors away. To report an error, e-mail newsroom@biemann.co.za with the story link.
Independence and sponsored content
Advertisers and sponsors have no say over our journalism. Paid content is always labelled Sponsored and is kept separate from news.
Analysis and opinion
Analysis pieces are labelled Analysis; opinion pieces are labelled Opinion and reflect the writer’s view, not Biemann News’s.
Market data
Prices on this site are delayed or end-of-day and are shown for information only. They are not investment advice. Each price shows when it was last updated.
Automated reports and AI tools
Our journalism is reported, written and edited by people. Two kinds of routine report are compiled automatically from published figures: the daily market wrap and short reports on official data releases such as inflation and interest rates. They are labelled Market wrap or Data release, carry a note saying how they were compiled, and are checked by an editor before publication. Staff may use software tools for tasks such as transcription or checking spelling, but an editor is responsible for every word we publish.
