How we correct a story

• We fix the error in the story as soon as we confirm it.
• We add a dated note in the story's Corrections section saying what was wrong and what is right. The top of the story shows the date of the latest correction.
• We don't quietly change facts, and we don't take stories down to hide mistakes. If safety or the law ever requires removing something, we'll note that we did.

Corrections and updates are different

A correction fixes something we got wrong. An update adds new information after a story is published, such as a vote that happened later or a changed deadline. Updated stories show an “Updated” date and say what changed.

Directory listings and events

Every listing shows the date we last checked it, and we check each one at least once a year. If a listing or event is out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.

How to request a correction

Use the correction request form, or the Request a correction link at the bottom of any story. Tell us what's wrong and, if you can, where the right information comes from. The editor reviews every request.
