Corrections Policy

When we find a factual error, we correct it quickly and transparently.

Report a mistake

Use the contact form, choose “Correction request” and include the story link and what you believe is wrong, with any supporting information. We read every request.

What happens next

• An editor reviews the report, normally within two working days.
• Corrections fix a factual error. We fix the text and add a note at the end of the story saying what changed and when.
• Updates add new information to a developing story. We show the updated time on the story.
• If a story cannot be corrected because it was fundamentally wrong, we retract it and explain why.

Typos and small fixes

We fix spelling, grammar and formatting mistakes quietly. We note corrections that change the meaning of a story.
