Corrections Policy
Our Commitment
Accuracy is fundamental to responsible journalism.
While we take care to verify information before publication, mistakes can occur. When significant factual errors are identified, we are committed to correcting them promptly, transparently and fairly.
Our aim is to maintain the trust of our readers by acknowledging genuine errors and ensuring the public record is as accurate as possible.
Reporting an Error
If you believe an article published by Knelstrom contains a factual error, please contact us through our Contact page.
When reporting an error, please include:
- A link to the article.
- A description of the alleged error.
- Supporting evidence or relevant sources, where available.
- Your contact details in case we need clarification.
Submitting a correction request does not guarantee that a change will be made. Each request is independently reviewed.
How We Assess Correction Requests
Every request is considered on its own merits.
Where appropriate, we may:
- Review the original source material.
- Consult additional evidence.
- Contact relevant organisations or individuals.
- Seek clarification from the author or editor.
Editorial decisions are based on the available evidence and our Editorial Standards.
What We Will Correct
We will normally correct significant factual errors, including:
- Incorrect names.
- Incorrect dates or times.
- Incorrect locations.
- Incorrect quotations.
- Misstated statistics or figures.
- Incorrect descriptions of legislation, policy or official documents.
- Errors that materially change the meaning of an article.
Corrections will be made as soon as reasonably practical after verification.
Minor Updates
Not every change requires a formal correction.
We may make minor editorial improvements without issuing a correction notice, including:
- Spelling mistakes.
- Grammar.
- Formatting.
- Broken links.
- Minor typographical errors.
- Stylistic improvements that do not alter the meaning of the article.
These routine edits do not normally require an editorial note.
Clarifications
Sometimes an article may be factually accurate but could benefit from additional context or clearer wording.
In these cases, we may publish a clarification to improve readers’ understanding without implying that the original reporting was incorrect.
Updates to Developing Stories
News develops over time.
Articles covering ongoing events may be updated as new verified information becomes available.
Where an update materially changes the substance of an article, we will indicate that the article has been updated.
Retractions
In rare circumstances, an article may be withdrawn or substantially revised if:
- significant factual inaccuracies are identified;
- legal considerations require removal;
- the article no longer meets our Editorial Standards.
Where practical, we will explain why material has been removed or substantially altered.
Reader Feedback
We welcome constructive feedback from readers.
Questions, concerns and evidence-based criticism help improve our reporting and are considered an important part of maintaining high editorial standards.
Editorial Independence
Correction decisions are made independently by the Editor.
Corrections are based on evidence and editorial judgement, not external pressure or disagreement with opinions expressed in commentary.
Requests seeking to suppress accurate reporting or remove material solely because it is unfavourable will not normally result in a correction.
Our Commitment to Transparency
Our objective is not to avoid mistakes but to deal with them openly when they occur.
Responsible journalism requires accountability, and we believe that acknowledging genuine errors strengthens trust between publishers and readers.
We remain committed to publishing reporting that is accurate, transparent and independently produced in accordance with our Editorial Standards.
