Corrections Policy

Getting a story right matters more than defending a mistake. NewsInTrends reviews correction requests carefully and updates published work when an error, omission, or misleading framing needs to be fixed.

How corrections, updates, and clarifications are handled

What we correct

We correct factual errors, misleading phrasing, material omissions, and attribution mistakes. Minor style edits may be made without a formal note when they do not change meaning.

A clarification may be added when a story was not factually wrong but could be read in a confusing way.

How to submit a correction

Share the article URL, the passage in question, and the reason you believe it is inaccurate or incomplete. Supporting documents or links help the review move faster.

Requests tied to developing stories are reviewed against the best available evidence at that moment and may result in an update note rather than a full rewrite.

How changes appear on the site

Substantive changes are reflected in the live article so readers see the corrected version first. Where useful, a note explains that the story has been updated, corrected, or clarified.

Archived pages and legacy URLs may also be revised when they continue to receive meaningful reader traffic.

A careful correction request is always welcome. Clear evidence and a precise explanation help the newsroom respond more effectively.
