How corrections are handled
A correction is appropriate when a published statement is materially inaccurate, a figure was calculated incorrectly, a source was mischaracterized, a quotation was attributed incorrectly, or a change is necessary to prevent readers from drawing a materially false conclusion.
Use our Contact page and send the article URL, the exact statement or figure you believe is wrong, why you believe it is wrong, and a reliable source supporting the correction. We review evidence rather than the volume of complaints.
A disagreement with our interpretation is not automatically a factual error. Where reasonable people can interpret incomplete evidence differently, we may clarify the uncertainty without removing a supported conclusion.
Minor edits: spelling, grammar, formatting, broken links and wording changes that do not alter the meaning may be fixed without a correction note.
Material factual corrections: the article should be changed and a short correction or update note should explain what was wrong and what was changed.
Fast-moving stories: when new information changes the story rather than proving the previous reporting false, we may add an update note with the date and new information.
Data or chart corrections: the visual and any conclusions dependent on it should be updated together.
