Reporting a Possible Error
Readers, sources and organizations may report a possible error by contacting the newsroom and identifying the article, the disputed statement and any supporting evidence.
A disagreement with an editorial conclusion does not necessarily establish a factual error, but all specific and credible concerns will be reviewed.
Our Review Process
The newsroom will review the published material, available source records and relevant evidence. Where appropriate, the responsible editor or contributor may be asked to provide additional context.
The time required for review will depend on the seriousness and complexity of the issue, but urgent errors that may cause harm will receive priority.
Minor Changes
Typographical, formatting or grammatical changes that do not alter the meaning of an article may be corrected without a formal correction notice.
Substantive Corrections
A correction notice should be added when a factual error materially affects a reader’s understanding of the article. The notice should explain what was incorrect and what has been changed.
Clarifications and Updates
A clarification may be added when the original language was factually defensible but insufficiently clear or likely to create a misleading impression.
Developing stories may be updated as new verified information becomes available. Significant updates should be identified when they materially change the substance of the report.
Retractions
Retraction is reserved for exceptional cases in which the central basis of an article is shown to be false, fabricated, unlawfully published or otherwise incapable of responsible correction.
Where possible, the original URL will remain available with a clear retraction notice so that the public record is transparent.
