Corrections
If TFS News got something wrong, tell us and we will fix it in public.
How to report an error
Email corrections@tfsnews.co. Two things make a correction quick to act on:
- The link to the article, so there is no guessing which story you mean.
- A source for the correct information: a record, a filing, an official statement or a published report.
You do not need to be the subject of a story to ask for a correction, and you do not need to give a reason. A wrong fact is reason enough.
What happens next
Every correction email is read. The claim is checked against the sources the article links and against the source you sent. One of three things follows.
- The fact was wrong. The article is fixed and a dated correction note is added at the bottom saying what it used to say and what it says now. The correction is listed on this page.
- The fact was right but unclear. The wording is changed and a dated update note is added at the top. Update notes are not corrections, and they say what changed.
- The fact holds. You get a reply pointing at the source it rests on. Nothing on the article changes.
A correction is never made silently. The old wording is always named in the note, so anyone who read the story before the fix can see what moved.
What counts as a correction
A correction is a change to a fact: a name, a number, a date, a title, a place, a quote, or who said something. Fixing a typo that changes no meaning is not a correction and gets no note. Adding later developments to a running story is an update, not a correction.
The log
No corrections have been published yet. When one is, it will appear here with its date, the article and what changed, newest first. Update notes stay on the articles they belong to.
