1. Our Commitment to Accuracy and Transparency
At haynews.info, our primary goal is to provide our readers with accurate, fair, and reliable information. We have rigorous fact-checking and ethics policies in place to ensure the highest quality of journalism.
However, we acknowledge that errors can sometimes occur. When they do, we are committed to taking responsibility and correcting the record in a prompt and transparent manner. Our relationship with our readers is built on trust, and a clear corrections policy is essential to maintaining that trust.
2. Our Correction Standards
We are committed to correcting any substantive errors of fact.
- Corrections: If we publish information that is factually incorrect, we will issue a correction. This applies to errors such as incorrect names, dates, statistics, or a significant mischaracterization of an event.
- Clarifications: If our reporting is technically accurate but the language used is ambiguous or could be misleading, we will issue a clarification to provide better context.
- Updates: A story may be updated to reflect new information or developments. This is a standard part of the news cycle and is not considered a correction.
Minor typographical or grammatical errors will be corrected as they are found, without a formal editor’s note.
3. The Correction Process
When a potential error is identified by our staff or brought to our attention by a reader, our editorial team will take the following steps:
- Verification: We will promptly investigate the claim and verify the information against reliable sources.
- Action: If an error is confirmed, the online article will be corrected as quickly as possible.
- Transparency: For all significant corrections, a note will be added to the bottom of the article. This note will clearly state the error that was made, provide the correct information, and indicate the date the correction was made. In cases of very serious errors that fundamentally alter the substance of an article, a more prominent editor’s note may be placed at the top of the story.
