Corrections policy

We work to be accurate in every story, but mistakes happen. When they do, we want to fix them quickly and transparently, so readers know what changed and why.

A material error, such as a wrong number, an incorrect name, an inaccurate quote or a fact that turned out to be wrong, is corrected in the body of the story. A correction note is added at the end of the story explaining what was corrected and when. We do not hide the fact that there was an error.

Minor errors that do not change the meaning, such as typos, wording or a broken link, are fixed without a note.

Updates: when a story develops and new information is added, we update the story and say it was updated. An update is not a correction: it adds information that was not known at the time of publication.

Removing stories: we do not remove published stories just because someone is unhappy with them. A story is removed or substantially changed only if it turns out to be fundamentally wrong, infringes rights or the law, or poses a real danger to a person. In that case we say so.

The English edition: a correction to a Hebrew story is also made in its English edition, and vice versa.
