Telling us
If you think something we published is wrong, write to the news desk with a link to the piece and what you think needs changing. The editor reads every correction request.
What we do
When a fact is wrong we correct the article and add a note at the end saying what changed and when. We do not quietly rewrite a piece after it is published.
Clarifications
Sometimes a piece is accurate but could be read the wrong way. We add a clarification at the end in the same way, so readers can see what we added.
Removing a story
We remove a published story only for a serious legal or safety reason, and we say so in its place. Asking us to take down an accurate story is a conversation with the editor, not a form.
Right of reply
Anyone a story is about can ask to respond. Where a reply adds something readers should know, we add it to the piece.
