The Public Standard is committed to accuracy, but no newsroom is infallible. When we identify a factual error, we correct it.

How to Report an Error

If you believe an article contains inaccurate information, please contact us and include:

• The article you are referring to

• The specific information you believe is incorrect

• The correct information, if known

• A reliable source supporting the correction

We review correction requests based on the available evidence.

How We Handle Corrections

Minor errors that do not materially affect the meaning of a story may be corrected without a separate notice. Material factual errors should be corrected clearly. When an important correction changes the understanding of a story, we may include a correction notice explaining what was changed. If new information changes a developing story, the article may also be updated to reflect the latest confirmed information. Our objective is not to defend an old version of a story. Our objective is to leave readers with the most accurate version available.
