Effective Date: 24 May 2025
At ClaytonCountyRegister.com, we believe that accuracy is the foundation of trustworthy journalism. When we make a mistake, we correct it — promptly, transparently, and with full accountability to our readers.
1. Our Commitment
We are committed to correcting factual errors in a timely and visible manner. Whether the mistake is in a news article, opinion piece, or visual content, we take full responsibility and aim to maintain the integrity of our reporting.
2. How We Handle Corrections
a. Minor Corrections
For typographical errors or small factual clarifications that do not alter the meaning of the article, we may correct the content without a formal note.
b. Significant Corrections
For errors that affect understanding, accuracy, or credibility — such as incorrect names, dates, statistics, or quotes — we will:
- Update the article with the correct information
- Add a correction note at the bottom of the article with a timestamp
- Disclose what was changed and why
Example:
Correction: An earlier version of this article misstated the date of the city council meeting. It has been updated to reflect the correct date of June 14, 2024.
3. How to Request a Correction
If you believe we have published inaccurate information, please contact our editorial team. Include the article title, URL, the error in question, and any supporting evidence.
Email: [email protected]
We review all correction requests and respond as appropriate. If a correction is warranted, it will be made promptly.
4. Retractions
In rare cases where an article is found to be fundamentally flawed or inaccurately reported, we may choose to retract the piece entirely. In such cases, a retraction notice will replace the original article content with an explanation.
5. Accountability
This corrections policy reflects our responsibility to maintain high standards of journalism. Mistakes will happen — but how we handle them defines who we are.
If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, you may contact us.
