Standards
We get things wrong sometimes. When we do, we say so on the article itself rather than changing it quietly.
A factual error: a wrong name, score, date, figure, quote or attribution. Corrections get a visible, dated note on the article and the Updated date is set. Typos and formatting fixes are not corrections and are made without a note.
A developing story may be updated as new information arrives. Updates are marked with the Updated date. A correction fixes something that was wrong when published; an update adds something that was not known.
Tell us through the contact page. Include a link to the article and the specific point you believe is wrong, with a source if you have one. Every report is read and reviewed by the editorial team, and where an error is confirmed the article is corrected and carries a dated note.
Contact usA correction is a dated note on the article itself, saying what was wrong and what the accurate position is. The updated date is set at the same time. We do not remove the error silently and leave the article reading as though it was always right, and we do not delete a story to make a mistake go away.
Material corrections are recorded on the article they affect, so the correction travels with the story rather than sitting on a page nobody visits. No material correction has been recorded to date. Where one is issued, it will be listed here as well as on the article.
