Corrections Policy
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Daily Observer is committed to providing accurate, reliable and responsibly reported information to our readers.
Despite careful reporting and verification, errors can sometimes occur. When we identify a factual error, we aim to correct it promptly and transparently.
What We Correct
We may correct published articles when we discover that they contain a significant factual error, including incorrect:
- Names
- Dates
- Locations
- Figures or statistics
- Quotes
- Events or descriptions of events
- Other material facts
We distinguish between factual corrections and normal editorial updates such as improving grammar, formatting, clarity or style.
How Corrections Are Made
When a published article contains a material factual error, Daily Observer may:
- Correct the inaccurate information in the article.
- Add a correction or update note where appropriate.
- Preserve the original context when necessary to ensure readers understand what was changed.
- Update the article when new verified information becomes available.
The approach may depend on the seriousness and nature of the error.
Breaking News and Developing Stories
Breaking news can change rapidly as authorities, witnesses and other reliable sources provide additional information.
Articles covering developing events may therefore be updated as new facts become available.
An update to reflect newly confirmed information is not necessarily a correction. Where appropriate, we will make clear that an article has been updated.
Reader Feedback and Correction Requests
Readers who identify a possible factual error are encouraged to contact Daily Observer and provide:
- The article title or URL
- The specific information believed to be incorrect
- The reason it may be inaccurate
- Supporting information or a reliable source, where available
Correction requests can be sent through our Contact Us page.
We review credible correction requests and verify the information before making changes.
Corrections and Editorial Independence
Corrections are based on verified facts and editorial judgment.
A correction request does not automatically mean that an article will be changed. We may decline to make a change when the available evidence does not support the requested correction.
We do not alter factual reporting simply because an individual, organization or public official disagrees with coverage.
Updates to Published Articles
When significant new information becomes available after publication, Daily Observer may update an article to reflect the latest verified facts.
For ongoing stories, readers should consider the publication time and any update information when evaluating the article.
Accountability
Our editors and reporters are responsible for taking reasonable steps to verify information before publication.
When we make a significant factual error, we believe correcting it is part of responsible journalism.
Our goal is not to claim that errors never occur, but to identify and correct significant errors when they are brought to our attention or discovered through our own editorial review.
