Corrections Policy
Accountability

When the record needs to be improved, we update it in plain language.

No newsroom gets every detail right every time. What matters is how clearly and responsibly a publication responds when something needs correction, clarification or additional context. News Deli aims to review concerns carefully and reflect material changes in a way readers can actually see.

Editor amending a published story while reviewing reader feedback and source notes
Corrections are part of credibility when they are handled with direct language and visible care.

Minor repairs

Typos, formatting issues and other low-impact edits may be corrected quietly when they do not change the substance of the piece.

Clarifications

When wording is technically true but potentially confusing, we may revise the text to make the meaning clearer without overstating the problem.

Material corrections

If an error affects the reader’s understanding of the story, we correct it directly and make the change visible in language that explains what was wrong.

Specific evidence is more useful than general frustration.

Send the precise line or claim, the supporting evidence and any source material that can be checked independently. A correction request is much easier to assess when it points to a verifiable fact rather than a broad disagreement with the article’s framing or conclusion.

When a concern involves a sourcing issue before publication, the standards in our Fact-Checking Policy are the best guide to how that material should have been handled in the first place.

Clear logs and source notes make it easier to repair the record responsibly.

What should a correction request include?

Please send the article link, the exact sentence or passage in question, an explanation of the issue and the best supporting evidence you can provide.

How do you handle minor updates?

Small fixes such as spelling, formatting or obvious typo repairs may be made without a prominent editor’s note when they do not change meaning.

What about larger errors?

When a material issue affects the understanding of a story, we correct the article clearly and note the change in language readers can follow.
