Our Commitment
We strive for accuracy and clarity in all coverage. When we make a mistake, we correct it openly and quickly. Material changes to a story are labeled so readers can understand what changed and why.
How to Request a Correction
Use our contact page and include: (1) the article URL, (2) the exact passage you believe is incorrect, (3) supporting evidence (links/documents), and (4) your preferred contact information.
What We Correct
- Factual errors: numbers, dates, names, places, rates, laws, or misattributed quotes.
- Context errors: missing or unclear context that may mislead readers.
- Typos/grammar: corrected silently unless they alter meaning.
How We Label Changes
- Correction: for substantive factual errors. A note appears at the top or bottom (depending on severity) stating what changed and the date/time.
- Update: for routine refreshes (new data/rates, added sources, clarified wording). We show an Updated timestamp and briefly describe what changed.
- Editor’s note: when we need to explain larger changes (e.g., methodology shifts, data source changes).
Timeframes
- Critical errors (e.g., wrong deadline, materially wrong rate or eligibility): targeted within 24 hours of confirmation.
- Non-critical errors: within 3 business days.
Recordkeeping
We maintain an internal changelog (URL, editor, nature of change, timestamp) for accountability.
Takedowns
We generally avoid removing content. In rare cases (legal/privacy issues, confirmed hoaxes, rights infringements), we may unpublish while investigating and replace the page with an Editor’s note.
Examples of Change Notes
- Correction (Jan 12, 2026): Corrected the 2025 IRS standard deduction amount; an earlier version misstated the value.
- Update (Jan 12, 2026): Added 2026 contribution limits and clarified eligibility rules.
