If incorrect information is published on our website, we are dedicated to correcting it promptly and notifying our readers. This Corrections Policy outlines our procedures for addressing mistakes and maintaining the integrity of our content.
Our Commitment:
At Flickernews, we strive to deliver accurate and thorough news reports based on the information available at the time of publication. We recognize our responsibility to correct any errors that occur and to promptly inform our audience of the corrections.
Updating a Report:
- We indicate when a story has been updated, whether for corrections, clarifications, or additional information.
- For significant corrections, we prominently display a correction notice at the top of the article, specifying the updated information.
- We encourage our community to suggest corrections via email or through the designated section on our website.
Corrections:
- Substantive corrections to articles, captions, headlines, graphics, videos, or other materials are promptly published with an explanation for the change.
Clarifications:
- If the facts are accurate but the language lacks clarity or detail, we provide clarifications within the story to address any ambiguities.
- Clarifications may also acknowledge the inclusion of new information or perspectives.
Editor’s Notes:
- Corrections that raise significant ethical concerns or challenge the substance of an article may require an editor’s note for further context or explanation.
- Editor’s notes are approved by senior editors and added to the story to address the underlying issues.
Other Corrections Policies:
- Errors identified by readers in comments are acknowledged and corrected by our community engagement team.
- Incorrect information shared on social media is promptly corrected or retracted as necessary.
- We do not assign blame to individual reporters or editors for errors.
Reporting Inaccuracies:
- Readers are encouraged to report inaccuracies via the ‘Suggest A Correction’ section at the end of each web story or by emailing our editorial team directly.
- We take reader feedback seriously and investigate reported inaccuracies promptly.
Take-down Requests:
- As an editorial policy, we do not entertain take-down requests. Instead, we investigate claims of inaccuracy and publish corrections if necessary.
- While fairness considerations may prompt updates or follow-ups on previous coverage, the removal of published articles is not standard practice.
Content Modification:
- We use AI tools (like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and others) for content modification and correction, ensuring swift and accurate updates to our content.
- Corrections or requests for content modification can be submitted via email, and we will promptly make the necessary changes.
