Accuracy is central to reader trust. This Corrections Policy explains how Newsgigas receives reports, evaluates possible errors, updates published work and communicates material changes.
A correction addresses a factual statement, number, quotation, attribution, date, identity, link, image caption or other element that was inaccurate or materially misleading when published. A clarification may be added when the original statement was not strictly false but could reasonably create the wrong impression. An update adds meaningful new information after publication.
Typographical, grammatical, formatting and accessibility improvements that do not change meaning may be fixed without a public note. The updated date should not be changed merely to make an old page appear fresh; it should reflect a substantive review or material revision.
Readers should use the Contact page and select or mention “Correction”. A useful report includes the page URL, the exact sentence or element, the reason it may be wrong and an authoritative source when available. Screenshots can help with temporary pages, but a link to an official or primary source is usually more useful.
Do not include passwords, confidential records, private medical information or unrelated personal data. A request involving privacy, impersonation or legal risk may be routed to the appropriate review process rather than handled only as an editorial correction.
The editorial team checks whether the report identifies a verifiable claim, whether the cited source is relevant and whether the issue is material. Reports made in good faith are reviewed regardless of whether the sender agrees with the article’s conclusions. Disagreement with analysis is not automatically evidence of a factual error, but analysis should be revised if it depends on an incorrect fact.
Editors compare the published text with primary documents, original notes, official statements, archived versions and other reliable material. When appropriate, the author or source may be contacted. Newsgigas does not change an article solely because a subject dislikes accurate reporting or requests the removal of fair criticism.
If the error is minor and does not affect the article’s conclusion, the text may be corrected promptly with a concise note when transparency would help. A material error should receive a visible correction note explaining what was wrong and what changed. A developing story may receive an update note identifying important new facts.
When an article has pervasive problems that cannot be repaired reliably, it may be withdrawn or replaced. The original URL should normally explain the action instead of silently disappearing, unless law, privacy or security requires a different response. Retractions are reserved for serious failures such as fabricated evidence, fundamental inaccuracy or material ethical breach.
A correction note should be direct and proportionate. It should identify the inaccurate element, state the correct information and include the date of correction. It should not minimise the issue, blame the reader or repeat a harmful falsehood more than necessary. Updates and clarifications should be labelled accurately rather than called corrections when no error occurred.
If an incorrect headline or social post materially spread the error, correcting only the article body may be insufficient. Where Newsgigas controls the channel, the editorial team should update or follow up on the affected headline, summary or post. Third-party caches and screenshots may persist outside the publication’s control.
A person or organisation mentioned in coverage may submit evidence, request a correction or offer a response. The request is evaluated using the same evidence-based standard. Newsgigas may add relevant context or a response without surrendering independent editorial judgement.
Some requests involve defamation allegations, court orders, personal-data rights, threats, doxxing or immediate safety concerns. Those matters may require restricted access, legal review or a privacy response while the editorial assessment continues. The publication will not reveal confidential reporter-source material merely because a correction request is submitted.
Simple and well-supported errors should be corrected as quickly as reasonably possible. Complex disputes may require additional time to verify records or obtain a response. Newsgigas may acknowledge a report before completing the review, but an acknowledgement is not an admission that the article is inaccurate.
The editorial team may retain a limited internal record of material corrections, evidence reviewed and the action taken. This supports consistency and helps identify recurring problems. Personal data in those records should be limited and retained only as long as necessary for the editorial or legal purpose.
If a reader believes a correction response overlooked important evidence, the reader may reply with the specific missing source or reasoning. Repeated messages that add no new information may be closed. Constructive follow-up is welcome and contributes to a more reliable publication.
