When We Issue Corrections
We will issue corrections for:
- Factual errors: Incorrect dates, names, locations, numbers, or other verifiable facts
- Attribution errors: Misattributed quotes or incorrect source identification
- Misleading information: Content that, while technically accurate, creates a misleading impression

Types of Corrections
Minor Corrections
For spelling, grammar, or minor factual errors that don’t affect the story’s substance:

- Brief notation added: “This article has been updated to correct [brief description]”
Significant Corrections
For errors that materially affect the story’s meaning or accuracy:
- Clear correction notice at the top or bottom of the article
- Strikethrough text for corrected information (when appropriate)
- Date and time of correction
- Explanation of what was corrected and why
Example format:

Major Corrections
For substantial errors requiring significant changes:

Article Updates vs. Corrections
Updates

Corrections

Clarifications
When our reporting is accurate but may be unclear or confusing:

- Personal relationships or conflicts of interest
Correction Archives
