Read More About Corrections Policy

Last Updated: June 2026

Accuracy sits at the core of everything Read More About publishes. No newsroom is infallible — when we make mistakes, we correct them promptly, visibly, and without obscuring what was originally published.

How We Handle Errors

Different types of errors require different responses:

Minor errors

Spelling mistakes, grammatical issues, or typographical errors that do not affect the meaning or factual content of an article are corrected without a formal correction note.

Factual errors

Errors involving names, dates, figures, quotes, or material facts are corrected directly in the article. A clearly labeled correction note is added explaining what changed and why.

Developing stories

As events evolve, articles may be updated to incorporate newly verified information. Updates are timestamped so readers can track how coverage has changed over time.

Significant errors

Where an error materially affects the meaning, fairness, or accuracy of a story, the article is reviewed by a senior editor and a substantive correction or clarification note is published at the top of the piece.

Where Corrections Appear

Corrections are made directly in the affected article — we do not remove errors silently or redirect readers elsewhere. If an error is identified after publication, the correction will appear in the same article, clearly labeled with the date it was issued.

Depending on the nature of the mistake, Read More About may use a correction note, clarification note, update note, or editor's note. Each serves a distinct purpose and is chosen based on what a reader most needs to understand what changed.

What a Correction Request Should Include

To help us review a request efficiently, please include the following when you contact us:

The article URL or headline
The specific sentence, figure, or claim you believe is incorrect
The factual basis for your objection
Any supporting documentation you want the newsroom to review
Your contact details for follow-up if needed

Reader Submissions

Readers are a critical part of our accuracy process. If you spot an error in any article, we want to hear from you. Our editorial team reviews every substantive correction request and responds where appropriate.

Our Commitment to Transparency

  • We do not remove errors without acknowledgment.
  • Significant changes to published articles are disclosed clearly to readers.
  • All correction requests are reviewed respectfully and given fair consideration.
  • We do not silently alter the substance of a published article when a correction note is warranted.

Why This Matters

Trust is earned by acknowledging mistakes openly. By correcting errors clearly and promptly, we aim to produce journalism that readers can rely on — including when we fall short.
