Corrections Policy
When we identify an error in published work, we correct it promptly, transparently, and visibly. This page is the standard; the public record of corrections lives at Corrections & Transparency. Our practice is aligned with established journalistic standards and best practices for accuracy and corrections.
1. Severity tiers
The tier sets the response. Substance is never changed silently.
| Tier | When | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Clarification | Accurate but ambiguous or incomplete. | Inline clarifying note; substance unchanged. |
| Correction | A factual error that doesn’t invalidate the piece. | Dated note at the top, and the text is fixed. |
| Editor’s Note | A significant error affecting premise or fairness. | Prominent dated note, plus the fix. |
| Removal | The central premise is false and can’t be salvaged. | The piece is removed and replaced with an editor’s note pointing to accurate coverage, at the original page. |
2. How we disclose
- Top, not buried. Substantive corrections appear at the top of the article.
- Specific and dated. We name the error, state the correct facts, and date it.
- No silent edits. Substance is never changed without a visible note.
3. How we update
- Mark the change: note the correction and the date it was made.
- Preserve the record: the original is retained; we do not delete to hide an error.
- Apply it everywhere: correct the error wherever it appeared.
- Log it: record substantive corrections on the public record.
4. Roles & timing
- Reported errors are reviewed by our editorial team, which determines the appropriate correction.
- We aim to correct substantive errors as quickly as possible after they are identified.
