Corrections Policy

Corrections Policy

PressNews.in is committed to correcting significant factual errors promptly and transparently.

We recognize that journalism is a human process and that errors can occasionally occur.

What May Be Corrected

Corrections may relate to:

  • incorrect names;
  • incorrect dates;
  • incorrect locations;
  • incorrect figures;
  • incorrect quotations;
  • inaccurate attribution;
  • factual errors;
  • misleading statements;
  • incorrect photographs;
  • incorrect source attribution; or
  • other material inaccuracies.

How to Request a Correction

Readers may contact:

Email: [email protected]

A correction request should include:

  1. article URL;
  2. exact statement believed to be incorrect;
  3. explanation of the error;
  4. correct information;
  5. reliable supporting evidence; and
  6. contact information, where appropriate.

Editorial Review

Every correction request does not automatically result in a correction.

PressNews.in may review:

  • the original source;
  • official records;
  • reporter notes;
  • documents;
  • other credible sources;
  • subsequent developments; and
  • the evidence supplied by the requester.

Minor Errors

Minor spelling, grammar, formatting or typographical errors may be corrected without a formal correction notice where the meaning of the article is not materially affected.

Material Errors

Material factual errors may be corrected and, where appropriate, accompanied by a correction note.

Significant Corrections

Where an error materially affects the understanding of an article, PressNews.in may explain what was corrected.

Updates

An article may be updated when significant new information becomes available.

An update should not be used simply to make old content appear fresh.

Removal Requests

A request to remove an article is not automatically a request for correction.

Accurate reporting that is lawfully published and has legitimate public-interest value may remain online even when a person or organization requests removal.

Legal Requests

Legitimate legal requests may be reviewed separately from ordinary editorial correction requests.

Right of Reply

Where an article contains a significant allegation about an identifiable person or organization, PressNews.in may publish or incorporate a relevant response where editorially appropriate.
