Corrections & Clarifications Policy

We are committed to publishing accurate, fair, and trustworthy reporting. When we make a mistake, we correct it clearly and as quickly as possible.


Our approach

Accuracy is central to our reporting. Every story should reflect the best available information at the time of publication.


When an error is identified, we assess it, verify the correct information, and update the content where necessary.


We distinguish between:

  • errors that affect meaning or understanding, and
  • minor issues that do not change the substance of a story

What we correct

We correct material factual errors, including but not limited to:

  • Names
  • Dates
  • Locations
  • Figures and statistics
  • Quotes
  • Descriptions of events
  • Wording that changes the meaning or may mislead readers


We may also update stories when new, verified information becomes available.


How we decide what needs correction

A correction is made when an error:

  • changes the meaning of a statement, or
  • could reasonably mislead a reader, or
  • affects the accuracy of key facts in a story


Minor issues (such as spelling, grammar, or formatting) may be fixed without a formal correction note if they do not affect meaning or understanding.


How corrections are made

When a correction is required:

  • The article is updated directly
  • A correction note is added at the bottom of the story
  • The note clearly explains what was changed


We aim to maintain a transparent editorial record so readers can understand what was corrected and why.


Example:

Correction: This article was updated on 14 March 2026 to correct the date of the event. It occurred on 14 March 2026, not 15 March 2026.


Clarifications and updates

Not all changes are corrections.

  • Clarification: Added when a story is factually correct but needs clearer wording or additional context
  • Update: Added when new information becomes available after publication


In both cases, we may note that the article has been updated for clarity or new information.


Visibility and transparency

Where practical, we aim to ensure corrections are visible within the article itself. The correction note remains part of the published record so readers can see what changed.


Reader feedback

If you believe we have published something inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading, please contact us with:

  • the headline or link
  • a description of the issue
  • supporting information (if available)


We review all correction requests carefully from readers, sources, and community members.


Editorial responsibility

Corrections are handled by the editorial team responsible for the content. Significant or complex corrections may be reviewed by senior editors to ensure consistency and accuracy.


Our commitment

We do not remove published stories simply because someone disagrees with them.


However, we will:

  • correct verified factual errors
  • add necessary context
  • act in good faith when concerns are raised
  • maintain transparency about changes to published content


Our goal is to serve our readers and community with reporting that is accurate, responsible, and open to correction.
