Corrections Policy

Mistakes happen despite review — a source updates its data, a calculation has an error, a program changes and an article isn't updated fast enough. When that happens, we fix it and say so.

How we log corrections

Any factual correction — a wrong figure, an outdated program detail, a broken or superseded source — is noted at the bottom of the article with the date and a brief description of what changed. We don't silently edit factual claims after publication.

What doesn't count as a correction

Minor copyediting (typos, formatting, adding an internal link) is not logged as a correction. Adding new sections to reflect a new program year is treated as an update, noted via the "last updated" date, not a correction — unless it's fixing something that was wrong, not just adding something that's new.

Report an error

If you find a factual error, tell us — ideally with the specific claim and, if possible, a source. Use our Contact page and select "Report a correction." We aim to review correction reports within 5 business days.
