Corrections policy

Accuracy matters more than pride. When something published here is wrong, it will be fixed — clearly and quickly.

How to report an error

If you believe something in a story, film or photo essay is factually incorrect, please get in touch with the piece's title and what you believe is wrong. Sources or evidence are welcome.

What happens next

Every report is read and checked against the original research. If the claim stands, I will reply explaining why. If it does not, the piece is corrected.

How corrections appear

Significant factual corrections are noted at the foot of the corrected piece, with the date of the change. Small typographical fixes are made without a note. Nothing is ever quietly deleted to hide a mistake.
