Corrections Policy

Polygonface Dispatch aims to correct factual errors quickly, clearly, and proportionately.

Material corrections

If a story contains a substantive factual error, we aim to correct it and update the public article record in a way that is visible to readers.

That may include:

• revising the text
• updating the article timestamp
• adding a correction or update note
• clarifying what changed and why

Minor edits

Minor fixes such as grammar, punctuation, formatting, or obvious non-substantive cleanups may be made without a formal correction note.

Clarifications and updates

Sometimes the issue is not a factual error but a need for clearer wording, fuller context, or a meaningful new development. In those cases, we may update or clarify the piece without treating every change as a correction, but we still aim not to conceal material shifts.

How to request a correction

Send correction requests to editorial@polygonface.com and include:

• the article URL
• the passage at issue
• the proposed correction
• supporting evidence, if available

Good-faith correction requests are part of the reporting process, not a nuisance to be ignored.
