A material fact was wrong
Correction
Fix the page, add a dated note explaining the original error and corrected fact, and enter the notice in the public log.
Corrections
Fix the error. Explain the change.
Accuracy does not end at publication. We fix material errors where they appeared and explain what changed.
Use the right label
Small edits may not need a note. Material factual changes always do.
Accurate wording could still mislead
Clarification
Revise the passage. Add a note if the change affects how a reasonable reader would understand the story.
New facts changed the story
Update
Add the information and update time. Do not label a factual correction as an update.
A technical issue did not change the meaning
Presentation fix
Fix it promptly. Add a note only if the issue affected attribution, discovery, or understanding.
Review path
How we handle a correction
This process covers stories, context, labels, maps, charts, directories, newsletters, and metadata.
Step 01
Record the claim
Save the URL, disputed words, publication time, and supporting evidence.
Step 02
Check the source trail
Review the original report, primary documents, later updates, and materially different accounts.
Step 03
Fix the page
Correct the text, metadata, labels, or links before closing the review.
Step 04
Explain the change
State what was wrong, what is now correct, and when it changed.
Step 05
Add it to the public log
Log material corrections and clarifications in one public record.
Report a possible error
Tell us exactly what looks wrong.
Include the URL and passage, explain the issue, and share a primary document or reliable report if possible. Disagreement with an attributed opinion is not a factual correction.
Intake status
A public corrections inbox is not yet available. We will publish an address when the review process is ready.
