At Presswire18.com, we are committed to delivering accurate, reliable, and timely news to our readers. Based in Mumbai, India, we recognize our responsibility to maintain transparency and accountability. This Correction Policy outlines the steps we take when incorrect information is published on our website and how we address it promptly. Our goal is to uphold the trust of our audience by correcting errors and informing you about the changes as soon as possible.
Our Commitment
Presswire18 strives to provide comprehensive and factual news reports based on the information available at the time of publication. We understand that mistakes can happen in the fast-paced world of digital journalism, and we are dedicated to addressing them swiftly. As a news platform, we take corrective action when errors come to our attention and ensure our readers are informed through updates, clarifications, or editor’s notes.
Updating a Report
We aim to keep our content current and accurate. When a story is updated with significant new information, we add a note to indicate the change. If we correct a notable error or include additional comments or perspectives from stakeholders, we use a correction, clarification, or editor’s note to notify our readers. For instance:
- If an error is identified in a fact-checked article, we update the content and include a bolded note at the top, such as [Correction: Updated Info…], followed by an explanation of the change.
- We also encourage our community to report inaccuracies by emailing us at info@presswire18.com.
Corrections
When we substantively revise an article, headline, photo caption, graphic, or video, we publish a correction promptly. This correction includes a clear explanation of what was incorrect and why the change was necessary. Our readers deserve transparency, and we ensure it’s provided without delay.
Clarifications
If our reporting is factually correct but the wording lacks clarity or detail, we rewrite the content and add a clarification. We also use clarifications to note when we’ve added a comment or response that was initially omitted or when new developments shift the story’s context.
Editor’s Notes
In cases where a correction challenges the core of an article or raises significant ethical concerns, we may include an editor’s note. This note, approved by a senior editor, explains the issue in detail and outlines what’s being addressed. We reserve editor’s notes for substantial matters that require deeper explanation.
Other Correction Practices
- Reader Feedback: If a reader spots an error and shares it in our comment section, our team may acknowledge the correction in the comments or update the article accordingly.
- Social Media: If we post inaccurate information on our social media channels, we correct it on the same platform. If editing isn’t possible, we retract the post and clarify the mistake.
- No Blame: We avoid pointing fingers at individual reporters or editors (e.g., “due to a reporting error”) and focus on the correction itself.
Reporting Inaccuracies
If you believe a story on Presswire18.com is inaccurate, please let us know! You can:
- Use the “Suggest a Correction” option at the bottom of every article.
- Email us directly at info@presswire18.com with details of the issue, including the story link.
We review all feedback carefully and take appropriate action, responding within a reasonable timeframe.
Take-Down Requests
As a matter of editorial policy, Presswire18 does not honor take-down requests. If a subject claims a story is inaccurate, we investigate and, if needed, issue a correction or update. We may provide follow-up coverage if fairness requires it, but we do not remove articles as if they were never published. Exceptions are considered only if publicly available personal data in our content puts someone at risk of physical harm—please email info@presswire18.com with evidence in such cases.
Our Process
Being a digital platform, we leverage technology to maintain accuracy, but human oversight drives our corrections. If an error is confirmed, we update the content instantly and note the change. We ask that anyone submitting a correction provides specific details (e.g., the story link and what’s incorrect) to ensure quick resolution.
