Corrections and Updates

Corrections Policy

European Reporter takes corrections seriously because reader trust is built in the moments when something needs to be fixed, not only in the moments when everything goes smoothly. When an error, omission or unclear line is flagged, we review the page, decide what kind of change is needed and update the published material with care.

Fix the problem clearly

Readers should not have to guess whether a meaningful change was made.

Different issues need different responses

A typo, a factual error and a structural rewrite are not the same thing.

Reader reports matter

Good correction requests improve the site for everyone.

What qualifies for correction or update

Factual errors, misleading wording, attribution problems, timeline confusion, broken context and material omissions can all justify a change. Minor typographical edits may be handled quietly, while substantive revisions deserve a clearer note or timestamp.

How we review requests

We look at the page in question, the source of the concern and the evidence available. The goal is to understand whether the issue is about accuracy, clarity, framing or freshness and then apply the right type of fix.

How readers should contact us

The most effective correction request includes the page URL, the line or claim that appears problematic and the information that should be reviewed. That keeps the process fast and focused.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you note every small edit?

No. Minor copy edits may be folded in quietly, while substantive changes are more clearly reflected.

What if the problem is misleading wording rather than a strict factual error?

That still matters. We review wording that creates a false or overly confident impression.

Where should correction requests be sent?

Use the main contact page and include the page URL plus the issue you want reviewed.
