Corrections and updates
If we get a fact wrong, we do not quietly rewrite history. We file a correction on the story, with a time stamp, in a dedicated section readers can find. If the news moved and the piece still stands, we file an update.
What is a correction
A material error: a name, a number, a date, a quote, a legal status, a claim we stated as settled that was not. The original mistake is named. The right fact replaces it here, not only in the body.
What is an update
New information that does not make the previous version false — a court that moved, a figure that was revised, a second source that arrived. The reader should see that the desk came back.
What we do not publish on the page
Internal desk checks — quotes and numbers still fought on the wires — stay on the night desk. Readers see a correction when the copy was wrong, not a fact-check widget. Search engines are not sent ClaimReview markup for those notes.
How to tell us
Write desk@atlasarchy.com. Put the story headline in the subject. If you are the subject of a piece, say so. We read it. We do not argue in the dark.
