Corrections Policy
When we get something wrong, we fix it and say we did. This page explains what counts as a correction, how corrections appear, and how to report an error.
Errors of fact are corrected. Developments are updates.
A correction addresses a factual error in a published article: a wrong name, number, date, attribution or claim. An update reflects a story that has developed — new statements, new events, added context. We treat the two differently, because they say different things about the original reporting.
Visibly, on the article, with a date.
When a correction materially changes a story, the article carries a dated “Correction” note above the text describing what was changed. The note is added by an editor — never automatically — and the correction is also recorded in the article’s structured metadata.
Meaningful editorial updates are shown with an “Updated” timestamp alongside the original publication date. We do not refresh timestamps for cosmetic edits or routine site maintenance.
If you believe we got something wrong, tell us.
We review every good-faith report. Send the article link and the issue through our contact page and mark your message “Correction”. Confirmed errors are corrected promptly and openly.
This policy is part of SN Media’s editorial standards, which cover sourcing, verification, the role of automation in our newsroom, and accountability.
