Getting things right matters to us — and so does putting them right when we don’t. This page explains how Daily Watch Reports handles errors, and how you can ask us to correct one.
Our commitment
When we publish something that is materially wrong, we correct it openly and promptly. We do not quietly delete or rewrite stories to hide a mistake. Corrections are part of accountable journalism, not an embarrassment to be hidden.
How to report an error
If you have spotted a factual error, email [email protected] with the article’s title or link, the specific point you believe is wrong, and — where possible — a source we can check. We review every report we receive.
How we label changes
- Correction — a fix to a factual error, such as a wrong name, figure or date. We note what was corrected.
- Clarification — wording that was accurate but open to misunderstanding, made clearer.
- Update — new, materially relevant information added to a developing story, with the update noted.
Timeliness
We aim to act on well-founded correction requests quickly. Significant corrections are made as soon as we have confirmed the facts; more complex cases may take longer to verify, and we would rather be right than fast.
