This page explains how Times of Pol approaches corrections policy across our coverage of geopolitics, conflict, and world-affairs reporting. We publish these standards openly so readers, sources, and partners can understand exactly how our content is produced, checked, and maintained. Because we report on fast-moving world events, we distinguish clearly between verified fact, sourced reporting, and analysis, and we date every piece so readers know how current it is.
Our commitment to corrections
Times of Pol corrects errors promptly and transparently. When we get something wrong — a fact, a figure, a name, a calculation, or a misleading framing — we fix it, and for anything beyond a trivial typo we tell readers what changed.
How to report an error
Anyone can report a suspected error through our contact page. Please include the article title, the specific passage in question, and, where possible, a source that supports the correction. This helps us verify and act quickly.
How we handle a correction
Once a report is received, an editor reviews the claim against the original sources. If an error is confirmed, we update the article and add a dated correction note explaining what was changed and why. Significant corrections are labelled clearly at the point of the change so the record is honest and traceable.
Types of changes
We distinguish between corrections (fixing something that was wrong), clarifications (making accurate-but-confusing wording clearer), and updates (adding newer information to content that was correct when published). Each is handled openly, and material changes are dated.
