Corrections Policy

Last updated: 27 September 2026

At Chopal Unfiltered, we believe accuracy is essential to responsible journalism. When we publish incorrect or incomplete information, we take responsibility for correcting it clearly and promptly.

Our corrections policy explains how we handle factual errors, updates, clarifications, and reader feedback.

1. Our Commitment to Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to verify information before publishing a story. However, journalism can involve rapidly developing events, incomplete information, changing circumstances, and information received from multiple sources.

If an error is identified, we review it and make an appropriate correction when necessary.

We do not expect our reporting to be free from mistakes. We do expect mistakes to be acknowledged and corrected responsibly.

2. What We Correct

We may issue a correction when a published story contains a material factual error, including incorrect:

Names
Dates
Locations
Numbers or statistics
Quotes
Facts about people or organizations
Descriptions of events
Other verifiable information

The appropriate response may depend on the nature and significance of the error.

3. Corrections and Clarifications

Not every change to an article represents a correction.

Correction

A correction is used when information previously published was factually incorrect and needs to be changed.

Clarification

A clarification may be added when the original wording was technically accurate but could reasonably have been misunderstood or lacked important context.

Update

An update may be added when new and verified information becomes available after publication.

When appropriate, we will indicate that an article has been updated or corrected.

4. How Corrections Are Made

When a significant factual error is identified, we may:

Review the original information and available evidence.
Verify the correct information using reliable sources.
Correct the relevant part of the article.
Add a correction or clarification note when appropriate.
Update the article's information when new verified facts materially change the story.

We generally do not silently change a significant factual error when doing so would make it difficult for readers to understand that a correction occurred.

Minor changes such as spelling, grammar, formatting, broken links, or typographical errors may be corrected without a formal correction notice when they do not alter the meaning of the story.

5. Correction Notices

Where a material correction is required, we may include a note such as:

Correction: An earlier version of this story contained incorrect information about [specific detail]. The article has been corrected to reflect the accurate information.

Where appropriate, we may also include the date and time of the correction.

6. Reader Correction Requests

Readers are encouraged to contact us if they believe a published story contains a factual error.

When submitting a correction request, please provide:

The article title or URL.
The specific statement you believe is incorrect.
The correct information.
Reliable evidence or a source supporting the correction.
Your name and contact information, if you are comfortable providing them.

Correction requests can be sent to:

Email: news@chopalunfiltered.com
Phone: +91 96349 99558

Providing supporting evidence helps our editorial team investigate the matter efficiently.

7. How We Review Correction Requests

Every legitimate correction request may be reviewed by our editorial team.

We may:

Check the original reporting and source material.
Review documents or evidence provided by the reader.
Contact relevant sources for clarification.
Compare information with reliable independent sources.
Consult the reporter or editor responsible for the story.

A correction request does not automatically mean that an article will be changed. We make corrections based on the available evidence and editorial review.

8. Developing Stories

News can change quickly.

During developing situations, information available at the time of publication may later be revised, expanded, or contradicted by new verified information.

In such cases, we may update an article to reflect significant developments.

Where appropriate, we will distinguish between information that was known at the time of publication and information that became available later.

9. Quotes and Attributions

We take reasonable care when reporting statements and quotations.

If a published quotation or attribution is found to be materially inaccurate, we will review the original source and make a correction where appropriate.

We may also clarify the wording when additional context is necessary to accurately represent a person's statement.

10. Images, Captions and Multimedia

Our corrections policy also applies to:

Photographs
Captions
Videos
Graphics
Infographics
Charts
Other visual information

If an image, caption, graphic, or other multimedia element contains a material factual error, we may replace, correct, or remove it and provide an appropriate explanation where necessary.

11. Editorial Independence

Correction requests are evaluated on the basis of factual accuracy and available evidence.

Chopal Unfiltered does not make corrections simply because a person, organization, political party, company, public figure, or other interested party disagrees with coverage.

A disagreement with an article's analysis, interpretation, criticism, or editorial viewpoint is not necessarily a factual error.

Where a dispute concerns an allegation or contested claim, we aim to clearly distinguish verified facts from claims and competing accounts.

12. Transparency

Our goal is to maintain a clear record of significant corrections and updates.

When a material correction is made, we may identify what was changed and why, depending on the circumstances.

We believe readers should be able to understand when important information in a published story has been corrected.

13. Contact Us
