Corrections Policy

We take accuracy seriously. When we get something wrong, we fix it.

What counts as a correction

A correction fixes an error of fact: a wrong number, name, date, attribution or claim. Style changes, added context and routine updates to developing stories are not corrections, though significant updates to a story are noted in the piece.

How to request one

Email [email protected] with "Correction" in the subject line, or use the contact page. Include the article link and the error. Requests are assessed against primary sources, not against preference.

What we do

Errors of fact are corrected in the article as soon as they are established, usually within one business day. Material corrections carry a dated note in the article explaining what changed. Where an error affected a headline or summary, the note says so. If a claim is contested but not resolved, we say that too.

Updates to developing stories

News moves. When a story develops after publication, we update the piece and mark significant changes with the date. An update is not an admission of error; a correction is, and we label the difference honestly.
