Accuracy is the foundation of everything we publish. When we get something wrong, we fix it quickly, transparently and without trying to bury the mistake. This page explains how we handle corrections, updates and retractions.
Our commitment
We hold ourselves to a simple standard: every claim in an article should be accurate and verifiable at the time of publication. When we fall short of that standard, we owe our readers a clear explanation of what went wrong and what we have done to fix it.
How to report an error
If you spot a factual error, broken link, misleading headline or any other issue in one of our articles, please let us know. The fastest way to reach us is by email.
Please include as much detail as you can: the article URL, the specific claim you believe is incorrect, and any supporting evidence or sources. The more context you provide, the faster we can investigate.
How corrections are handled
We treat corrections differently depending on their severity.
Minor corrections
Typos, spelling errors, broken links, formatting issues and other minor problems are fixed directly in the article without a formal correction notice. These do not change the meaning or accuracy of the reporting.
Material corrections
When an error affects the accuracy, meaning or fairness of a story, we take the following steps. We fix the error in the article text. We add a visible correction notice at the bottom of the article explaining what was changed and when. We include the date the correction was made. If the error appeared in the headline or summary, we update those as well.
A material correction notice looks like this:
Correction notice example
Correction (19 June 2026): An earlier version of this article stated [incorrect claim]. This has been corrected to [accurate information]. We apologise for the error.
Retractions
In the rare event that an article is found to be substantially inaccurate or based on unreliable information that cannot be corrected, we will retract the article. Retracted articles are not deleted. Instead, we add a prominent notice at the top of the article explaining why it has been retracted, and the original text remains available for transparency.
Updates and developing stories
Tech news moves fast, and stories often develop after initial publication. When we add significant new information to an existing article, we mark it with an update notice that includes the date and a brief description of what was added. Updates are clearly distinguished from corrections: a correction fixes an error, while an update adds new information that was not available at the time of publication.
Transparency in AI-assisted content
Because our workflow uses AI tools for research and drafting, we take extra care during the human review stage to catch errors that AI tools can introduce, such as hallucinated facts, outdated information or misattributed claims. Every article is reviewed against its original sources before publication. When an AI-related error does make it through, we treat it exactly the same as any other factual error: we fix it, we note it, and we learn from it.

Correction log
We believe in keeping a public record of our mistakes. As corrections are issued, they will be logged below with the article title, date and a summary of what was changed.
