Accuracy matters more to us than speed. But in fast-moving political coverage, errors can still happen — a wrong figure, a misattributed quote, an outdated detail. This Corrections Policy explains how Khabri Dost handles mistakes once they’re identified.
6.1 Types of changes we make
- Minor corrections — small errors such as a typo, wrong date, or an incorrect but non-material detail. These are fixed directly in the article without a separate editorial note.
- Major corrections — errors that affect the substance or meaning of a story, such as a misquoted leader, incorrect figures in a policy announcement, a misidentified party or person, or a wrongly reported election result. These are corrected in the article text, along with a visible editor’s note at the bottom of the article stating what was changed, and when.
- Updates — political stories often develop over time (for example, an evolving election count, a cabinet decision, or a developing controversy). When we add new information to a developing story, we label it as “Updated” with a timestamp. This is different from a correction, since the earlier version wasn’t necessarily wrong — just incomplete at the time.
- Retractions — in rare cases where an entire story turns out to be based on false or unverifiable information, we may retract the article, replacing it with a notice explaining why it was removed.
6.2 How we format correction notes
A typical correction note looks like this:
Correction (DD Month, YYYY): An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated [X]. It has been corrected to reflect [Y]. We regret the error.
6.3 Timeframe
We aim to review and act on valid correction requests as quickly as possible — typically within a few working days of verification, and faster for high-impact errors involving misquotes or factual claims about a specific leader or party.
6.4 How to report an error
If you spot something that looks incorrect in one of our articles, email khabaridost.com@gmail.com with:
- The article link
- The specific claim or detail you believe is incorrect
- A source or reference supporting the correction, if available
6.5 Our commitment
We would rather publish a story a little later and get it right than publish first and get it wrong. When an error does happen, we believe in correcting it openly rather than editing it away quietly — because trust, especially in political reporting, depends on it.
