We work hard to get things right, and we fix what we get wrong. When we make a mistake, we correct it quickly and tell readers what changed.
How to report an error
Use our contact form or email us at [email protected]. Please include a link to the story and what you believe is wrong. If you have a source that shows the right information, include that too.
What we do
- Corrections. When a story contains a factual error, we fix it and add a dated note at the bottom of the story explaining what was wrong and what is right.
- Clarifications. When a story was accurate but could be misread, we add wording to make it clear and a dated note saying so.
- Updates. When news develops after we publish, we add the new information and an update note. The story shows an "Updated" time.
- Editor's notes. When something about how a story was produced needs explaining, we add a note.
We do not quietly change facts in a published story. Small fixes to spelling or formatting that do not change meaning may be made without a note.
Removing stories
We rarely remove a story, for example when its source withdrew the information it was based on.
AI-assisted stories
Stories prepared with help from AI tools follow the same policy. See how we use AI.
Every correction, in one place
Our corrections log lists every correction and clarification we have published, newest first, with a link to each story.
