CORRECTIONS POLICY

In journalism, mistakes can and do occur even when due diligence measures are used. When they are brought to our attention, we at The New York Times Post do not delay in acknowledging them and responding.

Errors are promptly fixed by The New York Times Post Fact Check, and they are done so in a highly transparent manner. If the repair is simple, we mark it within 24 hours of being made aware of it. Nevertheless, the fix might take up to 72 hours if it necessitates more research or contacting individuals to gauge their reactions. We appreciate reader input, which may be left in the comments box found at the conclusion of each article, video, or post. A request for a story’s correction or update may also be made by emailing [email protected]. The New York Times Post keeps an eye on its extensive social media presence and encourages reader input and criticism.

It is prominently noted as “Correction” at the top and we explicitly state the change, along with details on why the change was necessary, whenever there is a significant correction or substantial change that alters the rating of a news piece. This gives every adjustment a distinct, accessible history.

After a story has been published, if new material becomes available that adds significant additional layers or perspectives but does not change the rating, it is noted at the conclusion of the piece with the word “Update.” Corrections for grammatical, spelling, or typographical problems as well as any small modifications that editors do not deem important are often not recorded.
