Accountability

Corrections

How we handle being wrong.

The policy

When we publish something incorrect, the article carries a dated correction saying what was wrong and what is right. The correction stays on the article permanently. We do not silently edit a claim and leave the page reading as though it always said the corrected version.

Typographical fixes that change no meaning are made without a notice. Anything that changes what a reader would understand gets one.

Reporting an error

Write to eunews@ourelected.com with the article, the specific claim, and the source you believe is correct. Point at the specific sentence — a general disagreement with a story's framing is worth sending too, but it is a different thing from a factual error and we will treat it differently.

No written articles have been published yet, so there are no article corrections to log. The voting record IS published, however, and it is correctable: if a vote, a name or a recorded position on this site does not match the European Parliament's own record, tell us and we will fix it and say so here. Every vote page links the source document so the two can be compared directly. Where the fault is in the official record rather than in our copy of it, we will say that too, rather than quietly change the number.
