Accountability

Corrections and updates

Material errors are corrected visibly. New information that does not make the original reporting wrong becomes separate, dated coverage.

Story-level disclosureNo separate public corrections ledger is active.

Where corrections appear

Check the affected story for its dated correction note.

The Branch does not currently maintain a separate public corrections ledger. When a published story needs a material correction, the story itself identifies the change, date, reason, and supporting source so the disclosure stays with the reporting it affects.

Reader-submitted requests remain private while editors verify them against the public record.

Correction

When the earlier page was wrong

The Branch changes the page, dates the correction, explains the material error, and links the strongest supporting record.

Update

When the public record moved forward

The Branch preserves what was known at publication. A later development becomes a new dated story or a separate recorded decision with its own source.

Help us get it right

Request a correction

Send the page and the strongest public source you have. A volunteer editor will review it. Submitting a request does not automatically change or publish anything.
