When something is wrong, we correct it clearly

Unlike a spelling fix, a change to a number, date, causal claim, quotation, or conclusion should be visible to readers.

When new research changes an explanation, we aim to show what changed instead of quietly erasing the earlier version.

If you spot an error in a story, email [email protected]. Please include the story URL, the passage in question, and evidence that helps us review it. We will assess the report and publish any correction that is warranted.
