Corrections Policy

Faytuks Network is committed to accurate, transparent and responsible reporting. When we make an error, we believe the appropriate response is to correct the record clearly and as quickly as reasonably possible.

Corrections

Factual errors are corrected once they have been identified and verified by an editor. This includes inaccurate names, dates, locations, figures, quotations, descriptions of events or other information that could leave readers with an incorrect understanding of what occurred.

When a correction materially changes the substance of an article, a correction notice will be added to the article explaining what was changed. The notice will normally appear at the bottom of the article and will include the date of the correction.

Minor spelling, grammatical, formatting or stylistic errors that do not affect the meaning or accuracy of the reporting may be corrected without a formal notice.

We do not remove accurate information simply because it later becomes inconvenient, controversial or unfavorable to a person or organization mentioned in our reporting.

Updates

News develops quickly, particularly in breaking news and open-source intelligence reporting. Articles may therefore be updated after publication as additional information becomes available.

Routine updates may include:

• New confirmed details or official statements.
• Additional reporting or context.
• Changes to casualty, damage or other figures as better information becomes available.
• Identification of individuals, locations, equipment or organizations that were initially unknown.
• Clarification of information that was preliminary or uncertain at the time of publication.
• Additional imagery, maps, documents or open-source evidence.

An update that adds information without correcting an error does not necessarily require a correction notice. Where an update significantly changes the understanding of the story, we may include an update notice explaining what has changed.

Breaking-news articles may be updated repeatedly as events develop. Information attributed to preliminary reports will not be treated as an error simply because later reporting provides a more complete picture, provided the original information was accurately characterized at the time.

Editor’s Notes

An Editor’s Note is reserved for circumstances where readers need additional context about the reporting, publication or subsequent handling of an article beyond what would normally be explained through a routine update or correction.

An Editor’s Note may be added when:

• An article has undergone substantial revisions after publication.
• Significant questions have arisen regarding the reliability, sourcing or interpretation of information contained in the original report.
• New information materially changes the context in which the original reporting should be understood.
• Reporting practices, sourcing decisions or editorial judgments require additional explanation for transparency.
• An article is being reviewed because of a serious factual, ethical or legal concern.
• Material information was omitted from the original report and the omission substantially affected the reader’s understanding of the story.
• An article has been temporarily or permanently altered, restricted or removed under exceptional circumstances.
• The circumstances surrounding a correction are significant enough that simply identifying the corrected fact would not adequately explain what occurred.

Editor’s Notes are not used for routine spelling changes, minor clarifications or ordinary developments in an ongoing story.

Where appropriate, an Editor’s Note will explain what prompted the note, what action was taken and when the change occurred. The purpose of the note is to provide transparency, not to obscure the original issue.

Headlines, Social Media and Other Platforms

If an error appears only in a headline, social media post, push notification or other distribution channel, we will correct it on that platform whenever reasonably possible.

If a materially inaccurate social media post cannot be edited, it may be deleted and replaced with corrected information. When appropriate, we will acknowledge the correction in the replacement post or a follow-up.

Corrections to an article will not automatically result in changes to every social media post that linked to it unless the error was also present in the social post or the correction materially changes what was communicated.

Open-Source Intelligence

OSINT reporting frequently involves incomplete, rapidly changing or independently sourced information. Faytuks Network distinguishes between confirmed information, preliminary reporting and analytical assessments wherever possible.

When an identification, geolocation, attribution or other analytical conclusion is later shown to be incorrect, we will update the reporting and clearly correct any material conclusion that relied upon it.

New evidence that changes an assessment does not necessarily mean the original assessment was improperly made. Where appropriate, we will explain how the available evidence or our assessment changed.

Article Removal

Removing an article is an exceptional measure. Whenever possible, inaccurate reporting will be corrected rather than deleted.

Removal may be considered when an article presents serious legal, safety, privacy or ethical concerns that cannot adequately be resolved through a correction or revision. When appropriate, the original URL may remain available with an Editor’s Note explaining that the article was removed and why.

Reporting an Error

Readers who believe we have published inaccurate information are encouraged to contact us with the article URL, the information they believe is incorrect and, where possible, supporting evidence or sources.

All credible correction requests will be reviewed by an editor. A request for correction does not guarantee that a change will be made. Corrections are based on the accuracy of the underlying reporting and available evidence.

Our goal is simple: when the record is wrong, correct it. When the story changes, update it. And when readers need to understand why a significant editorial decision was made, explain it.
