What we correct
We correct inaccurate facts, figures, names, quotations, dates, links, descriptions, and materially misleading omissions. Headlines, captions, metadata, and social copy are also corrected when they create a false impression.
How corrections appear
A material correction receives a note explaining what was wrong and what is now correct. The original error is not silently erased when understanding the change matters. Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, and style fixes may be made without a note.
Updates and clarifications
An update adds confirmed information to a developing story. A clarification improves precision where wording was accurate but could reasonably be misunderstood. Updates and clarifications may be labeled separately from corrections.
Submitting a correction
Provide the article URL, disputed passage, proposed correction, and reliable supporting evidence through the newsroom contact channel. An editor reviews original sources, contemporaneous records, and new evidence.
Removal and unpublishing
We generally preserve the public record and prefer correction to deletion. Removal may be considered for unlawful content, serious safety risks, verified privacy harms, duplicate publication, or material that cannot be responsibly corrected.
