Correction Policy

At khabarwala24, we believe that transparency and accountability are essential components of credible journalism. Despite our commitment to accuracy and rigorous editorial standards, mistakes can occasionally happen. This Correction Policy explains how we identify, address, and rectify such errors in a timely and responsible manner.

1. Our Editorial Responsibility

We acknowledge our responsibility to provide accurate and truthful information. Whether the error is minor (such as a misspelled name) or major (like a factual mistake), we treat all corrections with equal seriousness. Our goal is to correct the record promptly and openly without undermining reader trust.

2. Types of Corrections

We categorize corrections into the following types:

a. Factual Corrections:
When we publish incorrect data, statistics, quotes, or context in a story, we issue a factual correction immediately.

b. Typographical or Spelling Errors:
While minor spelling or grammar mistakes that don’t change the meaning may be corrected silently, if such errors mislead or confuse the reader, we issue a visible correction note.

c. Misquotations or Misrepresentations:
If a quote is wrongly attributed or misrepresented, a clear correction is published with the correct version.

d. Updates:
When a developing story changes due to new information, we mark it as an "Update" and specify what has been added or changed, rather than labeling it as a correction.

e. Retractions:
In rare cases where a story is fundamentally flawed or based on false premises, we may retract the article and provide a full explanation.

3. How We Identify Errors

Errors can come to light through several means:

  • Internal editorial review

  • Reader emails or messages

  • Feedback from sources

  • Reports from fact-checking organizations

  • Social media flags or public discourse

We take every alert seriously and investigate the claim before making any correction.

4. Correction Process

Our editorial correction process involves the following steps:

  1. Investigation: The editorial team reviews the alleged error using available evidence and trusted sources.

  2. Consultation: If the article involves sensitive information or was written by an external contributor, we consult with them before proceeding.

  3. Documentation: We keep a record of all correction requests, outcomes, and timestamps for transparency and internal accountability.

  4. Implementation: Once confirmed, we make the correction and add a correction note at the bottom of the article indicating what was changed and why.

5. User-Initiated Correction Requests

Readers are welcome to report errors they find. You can do this by:

  • Emailing us at [Your Email Address]

  • Using the “Report an Error” button (if available on your website)

  • Tagging us on social media (we monitor all public queries)

When submitting a correction request, please include:

  • The article title and publication date

  • A description of the alleged error

  • Supporting evidence or references, if available

We aim to respond to all correction requests within 48 hours.

6. Retractions and Major Corrections

In cases of serious journalistic failure or breach of ethics (e.g., plagiarized content, false allegations), we may choose to:

  • Fully retract the article

  • Issue a public apology or clarification

  • Review the content contributor’s future participation

Such retractions will be clearly labeled at the top of the article and may also be accompanied by a separate editorial note explaining the reason.

7. Transparency and Visibility

All corrections are marked clearly and transparently. We do not hide or erase errors silently. Correction notes are displayed:

  • At the end of the article (for factual or editorial changes)

  • At the beginning (for major updates or retractions)

  • With a timestamp and details of the change

8. Archiving and Record-Keeping

All corrected or updated articles are archived with version history to maintain transparency. Our internal database helps us track recurring issues and improve editorial accuracy.

9. Commitment to Continuous Improvement

We conduct periodic editorial reviews to assess the effectiveness of our correction practices and ensure that our team stays updated with ethical standards and fact-checking protocols.
