Corrections Policy

Last Updated: October 3, 2026

Corrections Policy at India Presents explains how we review, correct, clarify, and update information published on indiapresents.in. Accuracy matters to us, but news develops quickly and mistakes can sometimes happen. When we identify a meaningful factual error, we aim to address it responsibly and as soon as reasonably possible.

This Corrections Policy also explains how readers can report possible errors, how we handle developing stories, and when an article may receive an update, clarification, or correction.

Corrections Policy: 7 Important Standards

India Presents follows seven main standards when reviewing corrections and updates. These standards help us maintain accuracy, transparency, and reader trust.

1. We Review Significant Factual Errors

Not every change to an article is a correction.

For example, we may fix spelling, grammar, punctuation, formatting, or broken links without changing the meaning of the article.

However, if we discover that an article contains a significant factual error, we review the issue carefully.

A significant factual error may include:

• An incorrect name
• A wrong date
• An incorrect number or statistic
• A misleading description of an event
• An incorrect quotation
• An inaccurate attribution
• A claim contradicted by a reliable primary source
• An important factual omission that creates a misleading impression

When the evidence supports a correction, we update the article accordingly.

2. Corrections Policy for Breaking and Developing News

Breaking news can change quickly.

During a developing event, information available at the beginning may be incomplete. Authorities, companies, courts, sports organisations, government departments, or other reliable sources may later release new details.

Therefore, a story may change after publication without the original article necessarily containing an error.

For example, an early report may state that an investigation is ongoing. Later, authorities may release a final conclusion. In that situation, we may update the article with the new information.

Breaking stories, in particular, may continue to develop after we publish an article.

Where appropriate, we may add new information, revise a headline, change a paragraph, include an official statement, or provide additional context.

3. Updates, Corrections and Clarifications Are Different

India Presents distinguishes between an update, a correction, and a clarification.

Article Updates

An update adds new information that became available after publication.

For example, a company may announce a product launch date after our original story was published.

Adding that information is generally an update rather than a correction.

Corrections

A correction addresses information that was factually wrong.

For example, if an article incorrectly states that an event took place on Monday when it actually occurred on Tuesday, we may correct the date.

Clarifications

A clarification may be appropriate when the original wording was technically accurate but could reasonably create confusion or an incomplete impression.

In that case, we may rewrite the relevant section to make the meaning clearer.

4. Minor Editorial Changes

Some edits do not materially change the meaning of an article.

These may include:

• Fixing spelling mistakes
• Improving grammar
• Correcting punctuation
• Improving formatting
• Updating a broken hyperlink
• Improving readability
• Adjusting image placement
• Correcting obvious typographical errors

We may make these minor changes without adding a formal correction note.

However, if an edit changes an important factual claim or materially affects how readers understand the story, we may treat it differently.

5. Reader Correction Requests

Readers can help us identify possible errors.

If you believe that India Presents has published incorrect information, please contact us through our Contact Us page.

You can also email us at contact@indiapresents.in.

To help us review your request efficiently, please include:

• The article title
• The article URL
• The statement you believe is incorrect
• The reason you believe it is incorrect
• A reliable supporting source, if available

Providing a primary or authoritative source can make the review process easier.

For example, an official government notification, court document, regulatory filing, company statement, research paper, or official sports result may help us verify the issue.

6. How We Review Correction Requests

Submitting a correction request does not automatically mean that India Presents will change an article.

We first review the available information.

Depending on the subject, we may compare the disputed information with:

• Official government sources
• Original documents
• Regulatory filings
• Company statements
• Court records
• Official statistics
• Research publications
• Direct statements
• Recognised institutions
• Other reliable sources

We also consider the context in which the information appeared.

If the evidence clearly shows that a factual error exists, we aim to correct it.

If reliable sources disagree, we may add context or attribution instead of presenting one disputed claim as an established fact.

7. Transparency After a Correction

The way we present a correction may depend on its significance.

Minor errors may simply be fixed.

For a more substantial factual error, we may add a note explaining that the article was corrected or updated.

For example, a correction note may explain that an earlier version contained an incorrect figure and that the article now reflects the correct information.

We do not believe every minor typo requires a permanent correction notice. However, meaningful factual changes may deserve greater transparency.

Source Verification

Good corrections depend on good sources.

When possible, India Presents prefers authoritative or primary sources for important factual claims.

Depending on the story, this may include official government websites, regulatory bodies, company filings, court documents, research organisations, public institutions, or direct statements.

Readers looking for official Indian government information can also visit the National Portal of India.

For media standards and journalistic guidance, readers may also refer to the Press Council of India.

Corrections Policy and Headlines

Corrections can sometimes involve headlines as well as article text.

If a headline contains a factual error, we may change it.

We may also revise a headline if later information changes the central facts of a developing story.

However, a headline change does not always mean the original headline was factually incorrect.

For example, we may improve clarity, remove ambiguity, or update a headline when a story develops.

Corrections Policy for Images and Captions

Images and captions can also contain factual information.

If we discover that a photograph has been incorrectly identified, attributed, dated, or described, we may update the image or caption.

Likewise, if an image creates a materially misleading impression about the subject of an article, we may replace it.

Illustrations, representative images, screenshots, and AI-assisted graphics should not intentionally be presented as documentary evidence when they are not.

Corrections Policy for Quotes

Quotations should accurately represent what a person said.

If we discover that a quote contains a meaningful transcription error, we may correct it.

Minor grammatical adjustments may sometimes be made for readability when they do not alter the speaker’s meaning.

However, we should not intentionally change a quotation in a way that changes the person’s intended meaning.

Updates to Statistics and Numerical Information

Statistics can change over time.

For example, economic data, election figures, company results, sports statistics, weather measurements, and public-health figures may receive later updates.

When appropriate, we may update numerical information after publication.

We aim to make clear when a figure refers to a specific time period or source.

A newer figure does not automatically make an older article incorrect if the original number accurately reflected the information available at that time.

Corrections and Opinion Content

Opinions and factual statements are not the same thing.

A reader may disagree with an author’s interpretation without the article containing a factual error.

Therefore, disagreement alone does not automatically require a correction.

However, factual claims included within opinion or analysis content remain subject to reasonable accuracy standards.

If an opinion article contains an objectively incorrect factual statement, we may review and correct that factual claim.

Corrections and Third-Party Statements

Articles may quote politicians, companies, experts, athletes, celebrities, officials, witnesses, or other people.

If a person makes a disputed statement, we may accurately report that the person made the statement while clearly attributing it to them.

Attribution matters because reporting a claim is different from independently endorsing that claim.

If later evidence shows that the claim itself was false, we may update the article with additional context.

Requests to Remove Accurate Information

A correction request is different from a request to remove information that is factually accurate.

India Presents does not automatically remove accurate news or public-interest information simply because a person or organisation dislikes the coverage.

However, we may review legitimate concerns involving privacy, safety, legal obligations, copyright, court orders, or other significant circumstances.

Each request may require individual consideration.

Copyright and Correction Requests

If your concern relates to copyright rather than factual accuracy, please explain that clearly when contacting us.

Provide the URL of the relevant content, identify the material you believe you own, and include enough information for us to understand your claim.

Copyright concerns may follow a different review process from ordinary factual correction requests.

Reader Feedback Beyond Corrections

We welcome useful reader feedback even when it does not involve a factual error.

Readers may contact us about:

• Unclear wording
• Broken links
• Missing context
• Technical problems
• Accessibility issues
• Story suggestions
• Editorial feedback

Not every suggestion will result in a change, but constructive feedback can help us improve the website.
