Correction policy

In journalism, mistakes can occur despite due diligence. At timesthan.com, we promptly acknowledge and respond to these errors.

Timesthan Fact Check corrects mistakes transparently and swiftly. Simple corrections are made within 24 hours of being pointed out. However, if the correction requires further investigation or reaching out to individuals for their input, it may take up to 72 hours. We value feedback from our readers, which can be shared in the comments section or by emailing [email protected].

Timesthan.com also actively monitors its presence on social media platforms and welcomes feedback and criticism from our readers.

If a correction or change significantly alters the rating of a news story, it is prominently marked as “Correction” at the top. We provide clear information on why the change was necessary, ensuring transparency in our correction process.

If new information emerges after a story’s publication that adds substantial new layers or angles but does not affect the rating, it is marked as “Update” at the end of the article.

Typographical errors, misspellings, grammatical errors, or minor changes that are not considered significant by editors are typically not noted.

What does this policy cover?

The policy covers the following areas and will be addressed within the specified timelines:

  1. Factual Errors: Any inaccuracies in data, claims, sources, or other content in a story can be reported.
  2. Broken Links: Any broken links to claims, sources, or other hyperlinks can be reported.
  3. Conclusion: If you believe that the rating used in the fact-check is not supported by the evidence presented in the story.

What is not covered by this policy?

Opinions or any other issues not mentioned above are not covered by this policy, and we are not obligated to respond in such cases.
