Corrections and clarifications
An automated desk makes a particular kind of mistake: it misreads a source, mislabels a section, or summarizes a story that has since moved on. All of them are worth telling us about.
How to report an error
Write to [CORRECTIONS@YOURDOMAIN.COM] with the page address and what is wrong. If you are the newsroom that filed the original report, say so — those messages are answered first.
What happens next
- A factual error is corrected or the item is withdrawn, usually within one working day.
- A correction is noted at the foot of the item, saying what changed and when.
- An item withdrawn entirely leaves a short note in its place rather than a dead page.
- Where the error came from the source report rather than from this desk, the item is updated and the source is told.
Removal requests from publishers
A newsroom that would rather not appear on this site can say so at [EDITOR@YOURDOMAIN.COM] and will be taken off the source list. No reason is required and no argument will be made. Existing items from that source are removed at the same time.
