Corrections Policy

1. How Corrections Are Handled

We aim to correct factual errors quickly, transparently, and visibly, wherever they appear in our published work.

• Review. When a possible error is flagged — whether by a reader, a source, or our own editorial team — it is reviewed against our original reporting and, where possible, the underlying source material.
• Correction. Once an error is confirmed, the article is updated and a dated correction note is added describing what was changed and why.
• Minor vs. substantive corrections. Minor fixes — such as a typo, a broken link, or a formatting issue — may be made without a separate note. Substantive corrections, which affect the meaning, facts, or conclusions of a story, are always disclosed on the article itself, with the date of the correction.
• Retractions. In the rare case that an entire article cannot be corrected without misleading readers, it may be retracted, with a notice explaining why.

2. Update & Revision Policy

Breaking news coverage is often published while a story is still developing, and may be revised as more information comes in. We distinguish between two kinds of change to a published article:

• Updates. Adding new developments, statements, or context to a still-developing story is treated as an update, not a correction, and may be marked with an "Updated" timestamp rather than a correction note.
• Revisions for clarity. Light edits made for clarity, style, or length shortly after publication, which do not change the substance of the reporting, are not separately logged.
• Corrections. Any change made to fix a factual inaccuracy — as opposed to adding new information — follows the correction process described in Section 1 above, regardless of how much time has passed since original publication.

This policy is closely related to, and does not replace, the Accuracy & Corrections Policy in our Disclaimer or the Corrections Policy section of our Editorial Policy.

3. Reader Feedback Process

Readers are one of our most important checks on accuracy, and we welcome feedback on anything we publish.

• How to flag something. If you believe an article contains a factual error, an outdated figure, a broken link, or a misattributed quote, please tell us using the contact details in Section 4 below. Include the article URL or headline and a brief description of the issue so our editorial team can locate and review it quickly.
• What happens next. Reports are reviewed by our editorial team against the original reporting and source material. Where an error is confirmed, we follow the correction process in Section 1 above.
• Response. We aim to acknowledge correction requests and, where a correction is made, will typically reflect it in the article's correction note rather than in a separate reply, though we may follow up directly for significant or sensitive reports.
