At News Speak, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of accuracy, integrity, and transparency in journalism. Despite our best efforts to ensure factual reporting, errors can occasionally occur. This Correction Policy outlines how we handle such situations with accountability and responsibility.
1. Our Commitment
We believe in earning and maintaining our readers’ trust. If an error—big or small—is identified in any of our published content, we aim to correct it promptly, transparently, and prominently.
2. Types of Errors
We categorize corrections into the following types:
-
Minor Errors: Spelling mistakes, formatting issues, or factual errors that do not affect the core message of the content.
-
Substantive Errors: Incorrect facts, names, dates, data, quotes, or contextual information that could mislead or confuse readers.
-
Ethical or Legal Issues: Plagiarism, misattribution, or publication of sensitive or defamatory content.
3. How We Handle Corrections
a. Minor Corrections
Minor errors are corrected directly within the content without an official note, but the content will always reflect the most accurate version.
b. Substantive Corrections
For significant errors that impact the understanding of the story, we will:
-
Clearly indicate at the bottom of the article that a correction has been made
-
Describe the nature of the error and the corrected information
-
Include the date and time of the correction/update
c. Retractions
In rare cases where a story is found to be entirely inaccurate or misleading, we may retract the content entirely. In such cases:
-
A notice of retraction will be published in place of the article
-
The reason for the retraction will be clearly stated
4. Reader Feedback and Reporting Errors
We value our readers’ assistance in helping us stay accurate. If you spot an error in any of our content, you can report it to:
📧 Email: corrections@newsspeak.in
📞 Phone: +91-XXXXXXXXXX
Please provide the article link, describe the issue, and if possible, share any supporting evidence or clarification.
5. Correction Workflow
Once an error is reported:
-
Our editorial team reviews the claim
-
Relevant sources and materials are re-verified
-
If an error is confirmed, the correction is made with proper transparency
-
In some cases, a formal Editor’s Note may be added for further explanation
6. Social Media Corrections
If a corrected or retracted story has been shared on our official social media channels, we will:
-
Post an update with the corrected information
-
Where appropriate, delete or amend the original post
-
Mention that a correction has been issued
7. Accountability
Every correction is reviewed and approved by a senior editor. Our team is trained to uphold ethical journalistic standards and ensure such issues are minimized in the future.
At News Speak, we believe that admitting and correcting mistakes is a strength — not a weakness.
We are committed to full transparency and continuous improvement in our reporting process.
Thank you for holding us accountable and helping us serve you better.
