Editorial Standards & Ethics

Notre Mission

EcoPress Morocco is committed to delivering accurate, fair, and independent coverage of economic and financial news relevant to Morocco and the broader region. Our journalism serves the public interest by informing readers about economic developments, financial markets, business trends, and policy decisions that affect their lives and livelihoods.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, and commercial interests. Advertising revenue has no influence on the selection, content, or presentation of news stories. We maintain a strict separation between editorial content and advertising, and all sponsored content or partnerships are clearly labeled as such.

Advertisers have zero influence over editorial content or story selection
Sponsored content is always clearly marked with 'Sponsored' or 'Partner Content' labels
Financial interests or conflicts of interest are disclosed in relevant articles
No article is published or removed at the request of an advertiser

Sourcing & Fact-Checking

We adhere to rigorous sourcing and fact-checking standards:

All factual claims must be verified through at least one reliable, identified source
Financial data (stock prices, indices, exchange rates) are sourced from official exchanges, central banks, or recognized data providers
Statistics and economic indicators are attributed to their original source (HCP, Bank Al-Maghrib, World Bank, IMF, etc.)
When information cannot be independently verified, this is stated clearly in the article
Anonymous sources are used only when the information is of significant public interest and cannot be obtained otherwise

Author Attribution & Expertise

Every article published on EcoPress carries a named author byline. Our writers and contributors are selected for their subject-matter expertise in economics, finance, and business journalism. Author profiles are available on the site, providing transparency about the qualifications and background of our editorial team.

All articles include a named author byline
Contributors are vetted for relevant expertise and experience
Opinion and analysis pieces are clearly labeled and separated from factual news reporting

Corrections & Retractions Policy

EcoPress is committed to accuracy. When errors are identified, we correct them promptly and transparently:

Minor corrections (typos, formatting, minor factual updates): corrected in-place with a note at the bottom of the article stating 'Updated [date]: [description of correction]'
Significant corrections (material factual errors): a visible 'Correction' notice is added at the top of the article, describing what was wrong and what the correct information is
Retractions : in rare cases where an article is found to be fundamentally flawed, it is retracted with a clear notice explaining why the article was withdrawn

Report an error: If you believe an article contains an error, please contact us at editorial@ecopressmorocco.com. All correction requests are reviewed within 48 hours.
