Corrections Policy

At SportingBites, we prioritize accuracy and integrity in our content. We promptly and transparently correct errors to ensure reliable information.

Our goal is to provide trustworthy content. This policy explains our commitment to correcting inaccuracies and maintaining high standards.

Identifying Errors

We identify and correct errors through:

  1. Internal Review: Our editorial team regularly reviews published content for inaccuracies.
  2. Reader Feedback: We invite readers to report errors via:
    • Email: contact@sportingbites.com
    • Contact form
    • Comments on relevant articles

Your input helps us improve our content accuracy.

Types of Corrections

We make two types of corrections:

1. Minor Corrections: We promptly fix small errors like:

  • Typos
  • Grammatical mistakes
  • Formatting issues

No editorial note is added.

2. Substantial Corrections: We correct significant errors affecting accuracy or context, including:

  • Incorrect facts or figures
  • Misrepresentations

These corrections are made with a clear editorial note explaining the change.

Correction Process

We follow this process to address correction requests:

1. Acknowledgment: We acknowledge receipt within 7 business days.
2. Review: Our editorial team reviews, verifies, and determines the correction.
3. Correction:

  • Minor corrections: Prompt update.
  • Substantial corrections: Update with a clear editorial note indicating changes and the correction date.

4. Notification: If a correction is based on reader feedback, we notify and thank the readers for their contribution.

Editorial Notes

When we make substantial corrections, we add an editorial note at the end of the article. This note includes:

1. Original Error: A description of the mistake.
2. Correction Explanation: An explanation of the correction made.
3. Correction Date: The date the correction was made.

This note provides transparency and clarity on the correction.

Retractions and Updates

We take the following steps:

  1. Retractions: If an article is fundamentally flawed, we retract it entirely. A retraction notice replaces the original content, explaining why it was retracted.
  2. Updates: For ongoing stories or evolving situations, we update content to reflect new information. Updates include:
    • An editorial note explaining the change
    • The update date

This ensures our content remains accurate and reliable.

Commitment to Transparency

We prioritize transparency and accountability in our corrections process. We openly communicate all corrections, retractions, and updates to our readers. Acknowledging and correcting errors is crucial for maintaining audience trust and confidence.

Continuous Improvement

We strive for excellence in our corrections policy and procedures, regularly reviewing them to ensure they meet the highest journalistic standards.
