Correction Policy for BadaNews
Badanew.in (hereinafter referred to as “Badanew.in” / “We” / “Us” / “Our”) is committed to maintaining accuracy and transparency in the information we publish. Through this Correction Policy, we aim to inform you about the measures we adopt to address inaccuracies and errors, ensuring accountability and trustworthiness in our reporting.
Premise
Badanew.in strives to provide accurate, factual, and complete news reports based on the best information available at the time of publication. However, in the event that we identify or are made aware of any inaccuracies, we take prompt corrective action to update the content and inform our readers about the same.
We also utilize our digital platforms, including social media channels, to communicate corrections, clarifications, or editor’s notes when necessary. For major errors that may lead to misinformation, we issue public apologies to maintain credibility and accountability.
Updating a Report
Whenever a story is updated due to additional information, clarification, or corrections, we include a Correction Note at the top of the article. This note highlights:
- The nature of the correction or update.
- A brief explanation of what was changed.
For instance:
[Correction: Updated information regarding XYZ published on DATE has been incorporated.]
We also encourage our readers to report corrections via the ‘Suggest A Correction’ section at the end of every article or email us at [email protected].
Corrections
For significant errors, we promptly publish a correction detailing:
- The error in question.
- The correction made.
Corrections apply to articles, captions, headlines, graphics, videos, or any other material published on our website.
Clarifications
If our reporting is factually correct but the language or presentation lacks clarity or completeness, we revise the language and add a Clarification Note to the article.
Examples of when we issue clarifications:
- When additional details or context is added to a story.
- When a response or comment from a stakeholder is included post-publication.
Editor’s Notes
When errors are serious enough to question the article’s overall substance or when significant ethical concerns arise, we issue an Editor’s Note approved by a senior editor.
Social Media Corrections
If inaccurate information is shared on our social media platforms, we correct it on the same platform. In cases where edits are not possible, we retract the erroneous post and publish the correct information.
Reporting Inaccuracies
If you believe that any story we have published contains errors or inaccuracies, you can:
- Use the ‘Suggest A Correction’ section at the end of the article.
- Email us at [email protected] with details of the issue, including the story link and the suggested correction.
Take-down Requests
As an editorial policy, we do not entertain take-down requests. However, if the story is found to be inaccurate, we will investigate and publish corrections if warranted. In cases where fairness demands an update or follow-up, we take appropriate action.
We only consider takedown requests for publicly available personal data if the individual is under a credible threat of harm due to the publication.
Use of AI Tools
We may utilize AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Google Gemini) for content creation and modification. Corrections or updates to such content are made instantly upon verification. Please email corrections or updates to [email protected], and we will act promptly.
