How links are chosen for Habari
Duniani Online
Habari Duniani (HD) includes
links to both internal and external websites. We select links that are
editorially relevant to the content they are linking from and are suitable for
the likely audience.
These links are included for a
number of reasons, including:
·
for further relevant information or other key
source material
·
for background information
·
for useful practical information
·
for entertainment or enjoyment
·
for further informed comment
We do not link to external sites
in return for cash, services or any other consideration in kind.
We link to sites purely on
editorial merit. These will most often be free to access, but users may
sometimes be asked to register or subscribe before viewing content.
The Habari Duniani homepage does
not accept submissions or requests. The homepage team selects links and
evaluates websites on the basis of editorial relevance.
Link to external websites
External links are selected and
reviewed when the page is published. However, the HD is not responsible for the
content of external websites. This is because:
- the HD does not produce them or maintain/update them
- the HD cannot change them
- they can be changed without the HD's knowledge or agreement.
Some of our external links may be
to websites which also offer commercial services, such as online purchases.
The inclusion of a link to an
external website from Habari Duniani (HD) should not be understood to be an endorsement
of that website or the site's owners (or their products/services).
Links to user generated material
Some of the content we link to on
both HD sites and external ones is generated by members of the public. The
views expressed are those of the public and unless specifically stated are not
those of the HD. If you consider this content to be in breach of the house
rules as indicated on the website, please alert the moderators or site owners
on the sites where the material appears.
