Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it fast and tell you what changed. We never quietly edit a mistake away.
Report an error
Fill out the request form below with a link to the story.
Tell us what’s wrong and include any source that shows the correct information.
We reply by email within 5 business days, and publish a correction if the story was wrong.
What a correction looks like
How we label changes
Correction
A factual error was fixed: a name, number, date or claim. A note explains what was wrong.
Clarification
The facts were right but the wording could mislead. A note explains what changed.
Update
New information in a developing story. The update time is shown under the byline.
Spelling and grammar fixes that don’t change meaning are made without a note.
Removing or changing a story
We don’t remove accurate stories because they’re unflattering. We will consider removing or anonymizing a story when:
- it is materially inaccurate and a correction can’t fix it;
- it identifies someone in a way that creates a real safety risk;
- it concerns a minor, or a private person in a minor matter, and the harm outweighs its news value; or
- a court orders it.
Request a review
Every request is read by the editor and decided by the criteria on this page.
