We sometimes make mistakes. When this happens, we correct the error openly and with a timestamp.

How to Report an Error

Send an email to [email protected] including the link to the article, the specific paragraph in question, and what you believe to be the correct information—along with a source, if possible. We respond within one business day.

How We Correct

If the error involves a key detail (name, number, date, result, or quote), we correct the text and add a note at the bottom of the article stating what was originally written and what the correction is, along with the date and time of the correction.

If the error is in the headline, we correct the headline while keeping the URL unchanged, and we note the modification in the correction notice.

If a story turns out to be fundamentally incorrect, we retain the URL but place a clear notice at the top of the article stating that the story is no longer accurate, along with an explanation of what happened. We do not delete the page.

The Difference Between Correction and Update

An update involves adding new information to a developing story and is indicated by a "Last Updated" timestamp. A correction involves fixing an error and is indicated by a note.
