Last Updated: [02.05.25
At Politician24.com, we are committed to truthful, transparent and responsible journalism. We recognise that, despite careful editorial processes, occasional errors may occur. When they do, we are equally committed to correcting them clearly and promptly — because credibility is the cornerstone of political reporting.
Our Editorial Responsibility
Our mission is to inform the public with integrity, especially when covering sensitive matters of leadership, governance, policy, and international affairs. This means:
Verifying facts before publication
Differentiating clearly between news, analysis, and opinion
Acknowledging and rectifying errors without delay or defensiveness
Types of Corrections
1. Minor Edits
Spelling mistakes, grammar errors, or minor style adjustments that do not affect the accuracy or intent of the content. These may be corrected silently but are logged internally.
2. Substantive Corrections
If a published article includes factual inaccuracies—such as incorrect names, statistics, quotations, or misrepresented timelines—we will issue a formal correction. A note will be added at the top or foot of the article, indicating the change, the date, and what was amended.
3. Clarifications
When a statement is technically accurate but may be misinterpreted or lack necessary context, we may add a clarification. This will be marked clearly to maintain reader understanding.
4. Retractions
In rare but serious instances—such as proven misinformation or ethical breach—Politician24.com may retract an article. A retraction notice will be published in place of the original content, stating the reason for removal and who authorised it.
