Correction Policy

At News Dhamaka, we strive for accuracy and transparency in all our reporting. However, if errors occur, we are committed to promptly correcting them and informing our readers with complete honesty. This Correction Policy outlines our process for addressing mistakes in our content.

Types of Corrections

We categorize corrections based on the nature of the error:

  • Factual Errors: Incorrect names, dates, statistics, or misquotes.

  • Misleading Information: Claims that lack proper context or lead to misunderstanding.

  • Technical Errors: Formatting, spelling, or grammatical mistakes that alter meaning.

  • Updates: New developments that change the original story’s context.

How Errors Are Identified

  • Internal Review: Editorial team checks content before and after publishing.

  • Reader Feedback: Audience can report errors via email (editor@newsdhamakalive.com) or social media.

  • Post-Publication Monitoring: Regular audits of published content.

Correction Process

  1. Verification: The editorial team investigates the claim.

  2. Classification: Determines if it requires a correction, update, or clarification.

  3. Implementation:

    • Minor Errors (spelling, typos): Fixed silently without a note.

    • Major Errors: A correction notice is added at the top or bottom of the article with:

      • The original error.

      • The corrected information.

      • The date of correction.

    • Social Media/Third-Party Platforms: If the error was shared elsewhere, we issue corrections there too.

  4. Archival Integrity: Archived versions reflect corrections for transparency.

Reader’s Role in Reporting Errors

  • Email: editor@newsdhamakalive.com (Subject: “Correction Request”).

  • Provide: Article link, error description, and correct details (if known).

  • We acknowledge receipt and respond within 24–48 hours.

Accountability & Transparency

  • Corrections are not deleted or hidden—they remain visible to maintain trust.

  • If an error is significant, an editor’s note explains the change.

  • No penalty for reporters who acknowledge mistakes in good faith.

Continuous Improvement

  • Monthly reviews of corrections to identify recurring issues.

  • Staff training to minimize errors.
