Corrections
How to report an error, and what we do with the report.
If we get something wrong, we fix it in the open.
Report an error
Send the story, the line you believe is wrong, and what the record shows, through the Contact page. Reports go to the editor.
What happens next
The editor reviews the report against the story's sources. If the story is wrong, the correction is appended to the story itself as a dated note saying what changed and why. The original wording is not quietly rewritten — published pages are never edited in place to hide a mistake.
On breaking stories, corrections are handled the same way, in the open: a correction is a new, dated block on the story, and the correction is posted to our social feeds as its own post — never a quiet edit.
