Correction Policy for Think Bengal
At Think Bengal, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and accountability in our journalism. We understand the importance of correcting errors promptly and clearly. This Correction Policy outlines our procedures for addressing and rectifying any inaccuracies in our reporting.
1. Commitment to Accuracy
We strive to ensure that all information we publish is accurate, complete, and reliable. Despite our best efforts, mistakes can occur. When they do, we are dedicated to correcting them as quickly and transparently as possible.
2. Identifying Errors
Errors can be identified through:
- Internal Review: Our editorial team regularly reviews content for accuracy and completeness.
- Reader Feedback: We encourage our readers to report any errors or inaccuracies they find in our content. Feedback can be submitted via email at corrections@thinkbengal.com or through our website’s contact form.
- External Sources: We may also be notified of errors through third-party fact-checkers, sources, or other external entities.
3. Correction Procedures
- Verification: Upon identifying a potential error, our editorial team will review the information, consult original sources, and verify the accuracy of the content in question.
- Correction: If an error is confirmed, we will correct it promptly. Corrections will be made in the following manner:
- Minor Errors: Typographical errors, misspellings, and minor factual inaccuracies will be corrected directly in the article without an accompanying correction notice.
- Significant Errors: For substantial errors that may affect the reader’s understanding of the story, we will update the article and include a correction notice at the top or bottom of the page, specifying the nature of the error and the correction made.
- Retractions: In cases where an entire article is found to be based on false or misleading information, we will retract the article. A retraction notice will be posted in place of the original content, explaining the reason for the retraction.
4. Notification of Corrections
- Readers: We will notify readers of significant corrections and retractions through our website and, if applicable, through our social media channels and email newsletters.
- Sources: If the error involves information provided by a source, we will inform the source of the correction.
5. Record of Corrections
We maintain a public record of all significant corrections and retractions, which is accessible on our website. This record includes details of the original publication, the correction made, and the date of the correction.
6. Commitment to Improvement
We continuously review and refine our editorial processes to minimize errors. This includes regular training for our journalists and editors on fact-checking, source verification, and ethical reporting standards.
