At Newsroom Theory (https://newsroomtheory.com), we are committed to delivering accurate, fair, and reliable journalism. However, errors may occasionally occur in our reporting due to the fast-paced nature of news. When mistakes happen, we take responsibility, correct them promptly, and ensure transparency with our readers. This policy outlines how we address inaccuracies and improve our processes to maintain your trust.
1. Our Commitment to Accuracy
We strive for precision in every article, fact-checking sources and verifying information before publication. Despite our best efforts, errors may arise from typographical mistakes, misinterpretation of data, or outdated details. When notified of an error, we investigate immediately and act to resolve it.
2. Reporting an Error
If you believe you’ve spotted an error in our content, please notify us by:
- Email: info@newsroomtheory.com
- Contact Form: Submit via our Contact Page
- Include: The article title, URL, and publication date.
- A detailed description of the error.
- Supporting evidence (e.g., sources, links) to help us verify the issue.
3. Correction Review Process
- Step 1: Our editorial team will review your submission within 24–48 hours.
- Step 2: If an error is confirmed, we will:
- Correct the text clearly and promptly.
- Add a correction note at the bottom of the article explaining the change.
- For significant errors, publish an editor’s note at the top of the article.
- Step 3: If the claim is unverifiable or disputed, we will update the story to reflect the clarification and notify readers.
4. Types of Corrections
- Minor Errors: Typos, formatting issues, or broken links will be fixed without a note.
- Factual Errors: Incorrect names, dates, statistics, or misattributed quotes will be corrected with a note.
- Misleading Context: Updates to headlines, images, or omissions that affected the story’s meaning will include a detailed explanation.
- Major Errors: Egregious inaccuracies impacting the story’s integrity may result in a follow-up article or retraction.
5. Transparency
All corrections will be clearly labeled and dated. For example:
Correction Notice: An earlier version of this article misstated the timeline of the event. The meeting occurred on March 15, not March 10. This was updated on [Date].
6. Updates vs. Corrections
- Updates: New developments or additional information added to a story will be marked as “Updated” with the date.
- Corrections: Changes to fix verified errors will always include a correction notice.
7. Opinions and Editorial Content
Opinion pieces reflect the views of the author, not Newsroom Theory. Factual errors in op-eds will be corrected, but disagreements with opinions will not warrant revisions.
8. Accountability
We hold ourselves to the highest standards. All corrections are logged internally, and trends are reviewed to prevent recurring issues. Staff are trained regularly on fact-checking and ethical reporting.
Your Role in Our Accuracy
Readers are vital partners in maintaining our credibility. We appreciate your vigilance and promise to treat every submission seriously.
