Corrections Policy

How readers can flag a possible error and how a correction should be handled.

Readers can report a possible error in a PopularDaily article. This page explains the information to include and how a material correction should be documented.

Report a possible error

Send the article URL, the exact sentence or detail at issue, and a short explanation. If you have a direct statement, public record, or other relevant source, include a link or enough information for it to be checked. Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information.

How a report should be reviewed

The claim should be compared with the article’s sources and any new evidence. A correction request may reveal a factual error, a missing attribution, unclear wording, or a difference of interpretation. The response should match the evidence rather than the volume of messages about the story.

What happens when a change is warranted

A material factual error should be corrected in the article and explained in a dated note that tells readers what changed. If new information substantially changes the story, an update note should make that clear. Minor spelling or formatting changes may be made without a separate correction note.

Follow-up and contact

If you believe a published correction still leaves a material issue unresolved, send the article link and the remaining evidence. A request does not guarantee the article will be changed, but the information can be reviewed. No fixed response time is promised on this page.
