Correction Policy for Taaja24
Taaja24 (hereinafter referred to as “Taaja24” / “We” / “Us” / “Our”) values accuracy in our reporting and is committed to ensuring that any errors in our published content are corrected promptly. Through this Correction Policy, we outline the procedures we follow when incorrect information is identified on our website. We understand our responsibility to our readers, and it is our priority to make necessary corrections and inform you about these changes as quickly as possible.
Premise
At Taaja24, we aim to provide accurate, reliable, and complete news reports based on all available information at the time of publication. We recognize that mistakes can happen, and when they do, we make it our practice to correct them promptly. When we find an error, we will update the story, provide a clarification, or issue an editor’s note on our website and social media platforms. If the error is substantial, such as spreading misinformation, we will issue a public apology in a timely manner.
Updating a Report
When we update a story, we make sure to notify readers of any changes. If a significant error is corrected or if we add updates or comments from a stakeholder, we will make that clear by using a correction, clarification, or editor’s note. The updated article will display the correction in bold at the top, with the phrase “[Correction: updated Info…]” followed by an explanation of the correction.
Additionally, we encourage our community members to help us identify errors. If you notice something that needs correction, please send it to our editorial team at [email protected]. At the end of every article, we also provide an option for readers to suggest corrections.
Corrections
When we correct an article, photo caption, headline, graphic, video, or other material, we will promptly publish a correction notice. This notice will explain what the error was and why the change was necessary.
Clarification
A clarification is used when the facts in our journalism are accurate, but the way they were presented lacked sufficient clarity or detail. In such cases, we will rewrite the language and add a clarification to the story. Clarifications are also used if we failed to seek a comment or response that has since been added to the story or if new reporting has changed our account of an event.
Editor’s Notes
If a correction affects the substance of the article or raises significant ethical concerns, we may issue an editor’s note. This note will explain what was at issue and why the correction was necessary. The addition of an editor’s note must be approved by a senior editor.
Other Corrections Policies
- If an error is identified by a reader in the comment section, our community engagement team will indicate in the comments that the issue has been corrected.
- If we post incorrect information on social media, we will correct it directly on that platform. If the post cannot be edited, we will retract the information.
- We do not attribute errors to individual reporters or editors (e.g., “due to a reporting error” or “because of an editing error”).
Reporting Inaccuracies
If you believe a story we have published contains inaccuracies, please contact our editorial team using the ‘Suggest A Correction’ option at the end of the article. You can also email us at [email protected].
Take-Down Requests
As part of our editorial policy, we do not entertain take-down requests. If an individual or entity claims that a story is inaccurate, we are open to investigating the matter and, if necessary, issuing a correction.
If fairness requires us to update or follow up on a previously published story, we will do so. However, we do not remove articles as if they were never published.
In cases where personal data is published, we only review take-down requests if the individual is at risk of physical harm due to the publication.
AI-Assisted Content Modification
At Taaja24, we also employ AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and others) to assist in content modifications. If an error is identified, we are able to make instant corrections. For any content correction, please provide the details, and we will promptly update the story and images. Kindly send the story link to [email protected].
Taaja24 is committed to maintaining the highest standards of journalistic integrity and accuracy. We appreciate the vigilance of our readers and strive to ensure that our content reflects the most current and accurate information available.
