At Apanikhabr.in (referred to as “We,” “Us,” or “Our”), we prioritize accuracy and transparency in our reporting. This Correction Policy outlines the steps we take to address and rectify inaccuracies in content published on our website, ensuring accountability to our readers and maintaining the trust they place in us.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Apanikhabr.in strives to provide accurate, well-researched, and complete news reports based on the available information at the time of publication. However, in the event of any errors, we promptly take corrective action and inform our readers of the changes made.
Updating Published Reports
If a story is updated, we ensure that our readers are informed through notes, such as corrections, clarifications, or editor’s notes. This includes the following:
- Corrections: Substantial changes to rectify inaccuracies in articles, headlines, captions, graphics, or other material. A correction note explaining the change is published alongside the content.
- Clarifications: When the facts are accurate, but the language used could be clearer or more detailed, we rewrite the section and include a clarification. We also note if new comments, responses, or updates have been added.
- Editor’s Notes: For significant corrections that impact the core of an article or raise ethical concerns, an editor’s note is added. This note includes an explanation approved by a senior editor.
Highlighting Corrections
For transparency, when a correction is made, we:
- Place a visible note at the top of the article, marked with “[Correction: Updated Information]” to explain the change.
- Request community members to report corrections through the “Suggest A Correction” option at the end of every article or via email at [email protected].
Responding to Reader Feedback
We encourage readers to notify us of inaccuracies through the “Suggest A Correction” feature or by emailing [email protected].
- If an error is identified in the comments section of an article, our team acknowledges and corrects it promptly.
- When erroneous information is shared on social media platforms, we issue a correction or retraction on the respective platform.
Take-down Requests
As a matter of editorial policy, Apanikhabr.in does not entertain take-down requests. However:
- If the subject of an article disputes its accuracy, we will investigate and publish corrections if necessary.
- In cases where fairness warrants an update or follow-up, we may take editorial action but will not remove the content as if it never existed.
- For publicly available personal data, we consider takedown requests only if there is a credible threat of physical harm due to the published material.
Using AI Tools for Modifications
We employ advanced AI tools, including ChatGPT and Google Gemini, to ensure content accuracy and implement corrections swiftly. If you identify any errors, please provide the relevant details via email at [email protected], including the link to the story. Corrections will be made promptly.
