Telegraph corrects disputed £234bn cost claim in migrant coverage
The Telegraph has corrected its reporting after citing a third-party estimate that 800,000 “Boriswave” migrants would cost £234 billion.
That figure has been confirmed as disputed and will be updated.
The correction matters because publishing contested data as fact can distort public debate on migration and misrepresent the evidence base for policy claims.

ABC corrects Black Saturday date in broadcast on bushfires
ABC has amended its broadcast to reflect that the Black Saturday bushfires took place on 7 February 2009, not 28 February 2009 as stated in the episode’s closing frame.
The introduction had carried the correct date, but the end card repeated the wrong one.
Getting that detail right matters, because historical programming depends on accuracy — and even small chronological slips can distort collective memory and undermine public trust.

Politico corrects motion date and organSiation name in ICE minors detention coverage
Politico has corrected its reporting to state the correct filing date and name of one organization in the legal motion challenging ICE detainee transfers.
Previously, it misstated the date and misnamed the group.
Without correction, there would have been needless alarm and confusing legal timelines and misrepresenting the actors involved in immigration litigation.

New York Times corrects courtesy title error in U.S. politics coverage
The New York Times has corrected its report to note that Representative Young Kim is a woman.
Previously, an editing error used an incorrect courtesy title.
This slightly embarrassing error, signals inattentiveness to representation and accuracy in political reporting.

The Guardian backtracks on asylum family visa figures in immigration coverage
The Guardian has corrected its reporting to state that 20,817 family reunion visas were granted to relatives of people given asylum in the year ending June 2025.
It had reported the number as just 4,671.
The misframing risks stirring needless alarm by misrepresenting the scale of humanitarian migration and distorting the policy debate around family reunification.
