HornDiplomat Media Group is committed to accuracy, transparency and accountability in all of our reporting. When we publish information that is inaccurate or incomplete, we correct the mistake quickly and clearly. Integrity is central to our mission as an independent news organization.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We strive to verify all information before publication using credible sources, documents and first-hand reporting. However, if an error is identified, we correct it as soon as possible and acknowledge the change when necessary.
Types of Corrections
Minor corrections: Small fixes such as spelling, grammar or formatting that do not change the meaning of the story. These may be updated without a correction note.
Substantive corrections: Errors related to facts, names, dates, locations, figures or quotes. These corrections are accompanied by a visible note at the bottom of the article explaining what was changed and when.
Retractions: In rare cases where an article contains significant inaccuracies or does not meet editorial standards, it may be removed and replaced with a retraction or editor’s note.
How Corrections Are Made
Corrections are reviewed and approved by an editor before being published.
Substantive corrections include a correction note with the date and time of the update.
For sensitive or high-impact stories, a senior editor may review the entire article for further verification.
