Corrections Policy

Mistakes happen in fast-moving news. What matters is what happens next. This policy explains how The American Brief handles errors.

How to Request a Correction

Contact the newsroom through the routes on our Contact page, identifying: the story (headline or link), the specific statement you believe is wrong, and the correct information with a source where possible. Anonymous requests are reviewed but carry less weight than identified ones.

How We Handle Requests

• Every request is reviewed by an editor against the original sources.
• If the story is wrong, we correct it — promptly, and in the story itself, not silently.
• Material corrections are noted at the point of the error and, for significant errors, with a dated correction note on the story.
• If the story is right, we explain the evidence to the requester.

Updates vs. Corrections

Developing stories are updated as facts change; an update is not a correction. When an earlier statement in a story turns out to have been wrong — not merely superseded — it is treated as a correction under this policy.

Our Commitment

We would rather correct the record visibly than defend an error quietly. Readers who help us get it right are doing the publication — and every other reader — a service.
