Accuracy is fundamental to the credibility of The Chenab Times. Despite rigorous editorial checks, errors may occasionally occur. When they do, we are committed to correcting them promptly, transparently, and responsibly.
Reporting Errors
Readers, sources, and stakeholders are encouraged to bring factual errors, omissions, or inaccuracies to our attention. Corrections may be requested through the comments section of an article or via the designated contact or correction submission form.
All reported errors are reviewed by the editorial team.
Correction Process and Timelines
Minor factual or editorial errors are corrected as soon as they are verified, typically within 24 hours.
Corrections requiring additional verification, clarification from sources, or legal or ethical review may take up to 72 hours.
The speed of correction does not override the need for verification.
How Corrections Are Displayed
Substantive corrections that affect the meaning, accuracy, or interpretation of a story are clearly marked with a “Correction” notice at the top of the article.
The notice explains what was corrected and why.Updates are added when new, verified information becomes available after publication that adds meaningful context or developments without invalidating the original reporting. Updates are clearly labelled and placed at the end of the article.
This approach ensures a transparent editorial record for readers.
Minor Edits
Corrections involving spelling, grammar, typographical errors, formatting, or other minor edits that do not affect the substance or accuracy of the content are generally not noted.
Social Media Corrections
When an error appears in content shared on social media platforms, reasonable efforts are made to correct or clarify the information on those platforms once the article itself has been corrected.
Editorial Responsibility
Corrections are made openly and without hesitation. The Chenab Times does not remove or alter published content to obscure errors or avoid accountability, except in cases involving legal obligations, safety concerns, or serious ethical considerations.
Commitment to Transparency
Maintaining public trust requires honesty about mistakes. Our correction practices are designed to ensure clarity, accountability, and confidence in our journalism.
