Corrections Policy

Our Commitment to Accuracy

The Empire Times takes accuracy seriously. When we make mistakes — factual errors, typos, or misleading framing — we correct them promptly, transparently, and without alteration of the original text without notice.

Types of Corrections

• Minor corrections — Spelling or grammatical fixes that don't affect meaning are corrected silently.
• Factual corrections — Changes to facts, figures, names, or dates are noted with a correction notice at the top of the article.
• Significant corrections — Substantial errors that affect the story's meaning include a detailed correction note explaining what was wrong and what the correct information is.
• Retractions — Articles that cannot be corrected and were published in error are retracted with a clear explanation.

How We Handle Corrections

• Corrections are made as soon as an error is confirmed
• Correction notices are added to the top of the affected article
• Original erroneous text is not deleted — it is struck through so readers can see what changed
• Significant corrections are noted in our corrections log
