BriefTop considers accuracy essential to reader trust. When we determine that published content contains a significant factual error, we aim to correct the record promptly, clearly, and proportionately.
What May Require a Correction
Corrections may address inaccurate names, dates, locations, statistics, quotations, descriptions, identifications, timelines, factual assertions, captions, headlines, or other information that materially affects the meaning or accuracy of a story.
Corrections, Clarifications, and Updates
Correction: Used when previously published material was materially inaccurate.
Clarification: Used when published information may be technically accurate but requires additional context or clearer wording to prevent a meaningful misunderstanding.
Update: Used when new information becomes available in a developing story and the earlier reporting was not necessarily incorrect.
Editor’s note: May be used for substantial editorial issues that require additional explanation.
Minor Edits
Spelling, punctuation, grammar, formatting, broken links, or other minor changes that do not materially alter meaning may be corrected without a formal correction notice.
Headlines and Social Posts
If a material error appears in a headline, caption, social-media post, or other promotional material, we may correct or update that material where technically and practically possible.
How to Submit a Correction Request
Please provide:
- The URL or title of the article.
- The specific statement or element you believe is incorrect.
- An explanation of the proposed correction.
- Reliable supporting documentation or sources, when available.
- Your contact information if follow-up is necessary.
Review Process
We evaluate correction requests based on evidence, sourcing, context, and the significance of the alleged error. Submission of a request does not guarantee a change. When appropriate, we may contact relevant parties or review original source material before deciding.
Article Removal and Unpublishing
As a general editorial principle, we seek to preserve an accurate historical record rather than remove properly reported articles merely because circumstances have changed. Removal or substantial de-indexing may be considered in exceptional circumstances involving legal obligations, serious safety concerns, fundamental publication errors, or other compelling reasons.
Transparency
For significant corrections, we aim to make the change understandable to readers rather than silently altering a material factual error.
