How we handle errors
Any factual error is corrected the moment it is verified. The corrected article carries an italicised note above the body explaining what was wrong, what is now correct, and the date the change was made.
Levels of update
- Correction — a material factual error (name, number, date, attribution). Always flagged at the top.
- Clarification — the original was technically accurate but could mislead. Flagged at the top.
- Update — a developing story has new information. Flagged at the top with a timestamp.
What we don’t do
- Quietly edit articles to make ourselves look better.
- Unpublish articles to escape scrutiny — except in the rare case of legal removal, which is itself disclosed.
- Retroactively change quotes after a source asks us to.
