We correct errors openly. When we get something wrong, we fix the story and add a dated note at the bottom explaining what changed and why.
How to request a correction
- Send the link to the story.
- Tell us what is wrong and, if you can, how we can verify it.
- We reply within two working days and publish any correction on the story.
Updates vs corrections
An update adds new information. A correction fixes an error of fact. Both are labelled with the date they were made.
