Corrections policy

A site that holds others to account for their corrections has to meet the same standard.

What we correct

If we publish something inaccurate, we correct it. That includes wrong names, dates, figures and quotations, and statements that misdescribe what another outlet published or corrected.

How corrections appear

Corrections are made on the article itself with a dated note at the foot explaining what was wrong and what has changed. We do not silently alter published text. Minor typographical fixes that do not change meaning are made without a note.

Speed

We aim to assess correction requests within two working days and to correct verified errors as soon as they are confirmed.

How to ask for a correction

Contact us with a link to the article and the specific claim you believe is wrong. If you represent an outlet or individual we have written about, we will consider any response or context you provide.
