Corrections Policy

Getting the facts right is the most important thing we do at Mirror Standard. We check our reporting carefully before it goes live, but journalism is fast-moving and no one is perfect. Sometimes mistakes slip through. When that happens, we believe in being open with our readers: admit it, explain it, and fix it.

How We Handle Mistakes

Not all errors are the same, so we respond differently depending on the situation:

Small errors

Spelling mistakes, grammar issues, or typos that don’t change the meaning of the story — are corrected quickly without a note.

Factual errors

Names, numbers, dates, or anything that could mislead readers are corrected in the article itself. We also add a clear editor’s note at the bottom explaining what was wrong and how it was fixed.

Developing stories

Sometimes facts change as news unfolds. In those cases, we update the article and mark the update time so readers know they’re seeing the most recent version.

Where You’ll See Corrections

Corrections appear directly on the story page, not hidden in a separate section. Our view is simple: if the mistake was made in the article, the correction belongs in the article too.

How Readers Can Help

We rely on our readers to keep us sharp. If you spot something that looks off, email us with the headline, link, and a note about the issue. We’ll review it quickly and respond once we’ve checked the facts.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We never delete errors quietly.

We don’t “stealth edit” — if something important is changed, we’ll tell you.

We treat every correction request with respect, no matter who it comes from.

Why It Matters

Trust is earned article by article. By being honest about mistakes, we hope to show that we value accuracy over ego. We don’t aim to look flawless; we aim to be reliable.
