The short version

  • Sasa News is free to read. Please use it fairly and don’t try to break it.
  • Share our links and quote short parts with credit. Don’t copy whole stories or photos.
  • Check opportunities and events with the organiser before you apply, pay or travel. Never pay to apply.
  • Ads and sponsored content are always labelled, and advertisers don’t decide what we report.
  • Spotted a mistake? Tell us and we’ll fix it.

Who we are

Sasa News (“we”, “us”) is a digital news and culture publication based in Nairobi, Kenya, with our newsroom on Galana Road, Kilimani. These terms apply to this website and the services on it, including The Daily Drop newsletter and our polls. By using the site you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

Using Sasa News

You can read Sasa News for free, without an account. When you use the site, please don’t:

  • try to disrupt, overload or get unauthorised access to the site or its systems;
  • use bots or scripts to sign up, vote in polls, send forms or copy content in bulk;
  • send us anything unlawful, abusive, threatening or that you know to be false;
  • pretend to be someone else, including a Sasa News writer.

We may block access for anyone who does these things.

Our content

Stories, illustrations, graphics and the design of Sasa News belong to Sasa News unless we say otherwise. Some photos and videos belong to other people or agencies, and are credited where we use them.

You’re welcome to share links to our stories and to quote short parts of them, as long as you credit Sasa News and link back to the original. Please don’t republish whole stories, or use our photos, without written permission. To ask, contact us.

Accuracy and corrections

We work hard to get things right and report in good faith, but news moves fast and details can change after we publish. If you think we’ve made a mistake, email editor@sasanews.com and we’ll look into it. When we correct a story, we say so.

Opinion pieces are labelled as opinion and reflect the views of the writer.

Opportunities and events

Our Opportunity Desk and What’s the Move? list jobs, internships, scholarships and events run by other organisations. We check listings before we publish them, but we don’t run them and can’t guarantee every detail. Always confirm dates, costs and requirements on the organiser’s or provider’s own page before you apply, pay or travel.

We never charge you to apply for anything we list, and a genuine opportunity shouldn’t either. If a listing asks you to pay to apply, please don’t, and let us know.

Advertising and sponsored content

Sasa News is supported by advertising. Paid placements are clearly labelled, for example as “Advertisement” or “Sponsored”. Advertisers don’t see or approve our stories before they’re published, and an ad on Sasa News is not an endorsement. Read more on our Advertise page.

Things you send us

When you send us a message, a story tip or anything else through our contact form or story form, you confirm that it’s true to the best of your knowledge and that it’s yours to share.

If you send us words, photos or videos for publication, you keep ownership of them, and you give Sasa News permission to edit, publish and share them with credit. If you ask us to keep your name out of a story, we will. We read everything, but we can’t publish or reply to every message.

Newsletter, polls and WhatsApp

  • The Daily Drop. If you sign up, we’ll email you our newsletter. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can leave at any time.
  • Polls. Our polls are a quick way to hear from readers, not scientific surveys. We count one vote per browser and may close or remove a poll at any time.
  • WhatsApp channel. Following our channel is optional and is also covered by WhatsApp’s own terms.

We link to other websites, including sources, organisers, employers and advertisers. We aren’t responsible for their content or how they handle your information, so please check their terms and privacy policies.

Liability

We provide Sasa News as it is, for general information. While we aim to be accurate and keep the site running, we can’t promise it will always be available or error-free. To the extent the law allows, Sasa News is not responsible for losses caused by relying on our content or listings, or by websites we link to. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under Kenyan law that cannot be limited.

Your information

How we collect, use and protect personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Sasa News grows. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date at the top. If you keep using the site after a change, the updated terms apply.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Kenya, and the courts of Kenya will deal with any disputes about them.
