Corrections Policy
If an article on New Dispatch contains a factual error, we want to know about it and we will fix it.
Verified corrections are added to the article with a dated note explaining what changed.
We treat corrections as part of accuracy, not a sign of weakness.
What qualifies as a correction
A correction is a change to a factual claim in a published article — a wrong date, a misattributed quote, an incorrect figure, a name spelled incorrectly, or a material misrepresentation of fact. Corrections are not changes of interpretation or opinion.
How to submit
Use the form on this page, or email [email protected] directly. Include:
- The article title and URL
- The specific claim you believe is incorrect
- Evidence supporting the correction (a source, a document, a named reference)
What happens next
We review every submission. If the correction is verified, we update the article and add a dated note at the bottom recording what changed and when. We aim to complete this within five working days of receiving a valid submission with supporting evidence.
What we do not change
We do not alter opinion or commentary pieces to change an author's expressed view, and we do not remove accurate reporting because a subject finds it unflattering. Only factual errors are corrected.
