Corrections

We correct errors of fact promptly and openly. This page explains how, tells you how to ask for a correction, and records every correction we have published, newest first.

How we correct

  • An error of fact is corrected in the story as soon as it is confirmed, and a note at the end of the story says what was wrong and when it was fixed.
  • The same correction is recorded here, with the date and a link to the story.
  • We do not rewrite quietly. Typographical fixes that do not change meaning are made without a note; anything that changes a fact, a name, a figure or a holding gets one.
  • A story that is wrong in substance is withdrawn and replaced with an explanation, not deleted.
  • A correction to a published ranking is made in the published table and recorded here.
  • Where a correction concerns a named person, we tell them we have made it.

The full rules are in our editorial standards.

Ask for a correction

Write to contact@justiceinside.com with the subject line Correction. Tell us the address of the page, what you say is wrong, and, if you can, where we can check it. We acknowledge every request within two working days and tell you what we did. If we do not agree that there is an error, we tell you why; if you are not satisfied, the complaints procedure is open to you.
