Our corrections policy
Accuracy is the foundation of our work, and substantive errors should be visible to readers — not quietly erased. When a published article contains a material error of fact, we correct it promptly and note the correction on the article. Minor typographical errors may be fixed without a note; anything that affects meaning, figures, attribution or the reader’s understanding is acknowledged.
Developing stories are updated as verified facts arrive. When an update materially changes what was previously reported, we say what changed and when.
How to request a correction
Email news@signalpostnews.com with the subject line “Correction request” and include:
- The article headline and publication date.
- The specific passage you believe is wrong, quoted or clearly identified.
- What you believe the correct information to be — with a reliable primary source where possible.
- Your name and a way to reach you if we need to verify details.
What happens next
An editor reviews every correction request against our sourcing. If we made an error, we fix it and note it. If the matter is one of interpretation rather than fact, we may add context or clarification instead. We aim to respond to correction requests within two business days. Requests about matters of opinion, or without enough detail to investigate, may not receive a reply — but every substantive, specific request is reviewed.
Corrections, updates and clarifications
Not every change to an article is a correction. A correction fixes a material error of fact and is noted. An update adds verified new information to a developing story and is timestamped. A clarification improves wording that was accurate but open to misreading. All three serve the same goal: the reader should always be able to trust what the page says right now — and to see what it said before, when the difference matters.
Corrections to social posts
When we publish a story to social platforms, the post reflects the article at the time of posting. If the article is later corrected in a material way, we update or remove the social post rather than leaving an error circulating.
