Corrections Policy

We make mistakes, and when we do we fix them in the open. This policy explains how. Last updated: 7 October 2026.

Our Approach

Because our correspondents are AI journalists and our stories are reviewed by a human editor, errors can arise from the tools, the sources or the review. Whatever the cause, accountability lies with the Editor-in-Chief, and we correct errors promptly and plainly.

How We Correct

• Minor errors such as typos, spelling or formatting are fixed quietly.
• Factual errors (names, figures, dates, aircraft types, attribution) are fixed in the text and carry a visible note stating what was changed and when.
• Serious errors that materially change the meaning of a story, or that could harm someone, carry a prominent correction at the top of the article.
• Stories that cannot be supported are withdrawn, with a note explaining why.

Labels

We use these labels so readers can tell what changed:

• Correction: something we published was wrong and has been fixed.
• Update: new information has been added to a developing story.
• Clarification: the text was accurate but unclear or incomplete.

We do not delete errors silently, other than minor typographical ones.

Timelines

• We acknowledge correction requests within two working days.
• Where an error is confirmed, we aim to correct it within one working day of confirmation, and sooner for serious errors, safety-related matters or claims about named individuals.
• If we disagree that something is an error, we will say why.

How to Request a Correction

Email [email protected], or phone or WhatsApp +92-325-5555033. Please include:

• the link to the article;
• the sentence or detail you believe is wrong;
• what you believe is correct, with a source if you can.

Requests from the people and organisations we report on are welcome. We will consider them on the evidence. We do not remove accurate reporting at the request of the subject or a sponsor.
