In journalism, mistakes can happen even after careful checking. At DigitalYug we acknowledge them openly and fix them quickly when they are brought to our notice.
How to report an error
- Use our Report an issue form (fastest), or
- E-mail [email protected] with the story link, what is wrong and, if possible, a source for the correct information, or
- Leave a comment at the end of the story.
How quickly we correct
If the correction is straightforward, we make it within 24 hours of it being pointed out. If it needs further checking or reaching out to the people involved, it may take up to 72 hours.
How corrections are shown
- Correction: if a mistake changes the meaning or a key fact of a story, we mark the story "Correction" at the top and explain what was changed and why.
- Update: if new information adds to a story without making the original wrong, we add an "Update" note at the end.
- Minor fixes: typing, spelling or grammar mistakes that do not change the meaning are corrected without a note.
Social media
We also watch our social media channels for feedback and criticism. If a story we shared on social media is corrected, we correct or clarify the post as well.
