Corrections Policy

National News Base Corrections Policy

At National News Base, we are committed to providing our audience with accurate, fair, and reliable news coverage from across the United States. Journalistic integrity is the foundation of our newsroom. While our editors and writers follow a strict fact-checking protocol before publication, errors can occasionally occur.

When a factual mistake is made, National News Base acts quickly, transparently, and decisively to correct the record. This policy outlines how we handle errors, execute corrections, and how our readers can submit feedback.

⚖️ Our Core Principles of Transparency

  • Speed and Priority: We aim to investigate and rectify reported factual errors within 24 hours of receiving a notification.
  • No Silent Edits: If an article contains a material error that alters the meaning or facts of a story, we never quietly fix it behind the scenes. We append a clear, public note explaining the change.
  • Grammar vs. Substance: Minor typos, spelling errors, or punctuation fixes that do not change the facts or context of a story are updated without a formal correction notice.

📝 Types of Updates We Issue

1. Factual Corrections

When a significant error is made—such as an incorrect name, wrong date, inaccurate statistic, or misleading context—we update the text immediately and place a timestamped “CORRECTION” notice at the bottom of the article.

Example: “CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article stated the city council vote occurred on Tuesday. The vote took place on Wednesday. We regret the error.”

2. Clarifications

If the language in an article is factually accurate but phrasing choices caused ambiguity or misunderstanding, we rewrite the section for absolute clarity. We will add a “CLARIFICATION” notice to explain why the update was made.

3. Developing News Updates

For ongoing breaking news events, stories naturally evolve as new details surface. When we add substantial new information to a piece, we mark the text with an “UPDATE” tag to note that new facts have been integrated since the original publishing time.
