1. Our Commitment to Accuracy
TechArena aims to publish accurate and reliable journalism.
However, mistakes can happen. When we identify a factual error, we believe the appropriate response is to acknowledge it, correct it and be transparent with our readers.
Correcting an article does not diminish the importance of the original reporting. It is part of responsible journalism.
2. What We Correct
TechArena may correct published content when it contains a factual error, including errors involving:
- Names
- Job titles
- Companies
- Dates
- Locations
- Statistics
- Financial figures
- Product specifications
- Quotes
- Attribution
- Events
- Other material factual information
We may also correct errors introduced through editing, formatting, transcription or translation.
3. Minor Changes
Not every change requires a formal correction notice.
We may silently correct minor errors such as:
- Typographical mistakes
- Spelling errors
- Grammar
- Punctuation
- Formatting
- Broken links
- Minor wording that does not alter meaning
Where a change materially affects the meaning of an article, we will treat it as a substantive correction.
4. Substantive Corrections
A substantive correction is appropriate where an error materially affects the factual accuracy or meaning of a published article.
Examples include:
Correction: An earlier version of this article stated that Company X raised $10 million. The company raised $7 million. The article has been updated to reflect the correct figure.
Where practical, corrections should explain:
- What was incorrect
- What the correct information is
- That the article has been corrected
The correction should be placed within or immediately below the relevant article rather than hidden from readers.
5. Corrections to Headlines
If a headline contains a material factual error, it will be corrected.
If the headline error is significant enough to potentially mislead readers, TechArena may include a correction note explaining the change.
6. Updates vs Corrections
An update is not necessarily a correction.
An update may be made when:
- New information becomes available
- A company provides additional information
- An event develops after publication
- A previously incomplete story can be expanded
For example:
Update: This article was updated on 25 August 2026 to include a response from the company.
A correction is used when previously published information was factually wrong.
7. Reader and Source Corrections
Readers, companies, public relations representatives and sources may contact TechArena to report a potential error.
A correction request should, where possible, include:
- The article title or URL
- The specific information believed to be incorrect
- The correct information
- Supporting evidence or documentation
A correction request does not automatically mean that an article will be changed.
TechArena will independently assess the claim before making a correction.
8. Disputed Information
Not every disagreement with an article constitutes an error.
TechArena may decline to make a correction where the issue relates primarily to:
- Opinion
- Interpretation
- Editorial judgement
- Legitimate criticism
- A company’s disagreement with coverage
- A dispute over wording where the underlying facts are accurate
Where appropriate, we may add relevant context or a response from the affected party rather than issue a correction.
9. Corrections to Sponsored Content
Sponsored and commercial content is subject to the same basic standards of factual accuracy.
Where a factual error is identified in sponsored content, TechArena may correct it in accordance with this policy.
Commercial relationships do not prevent TechArena from correcting inaccurate information.
10. Significant Errors
In exceptional cases where an article contains substantial factual inaccuracies or cannot reasonably be corrected through amendments, TechArena may:
- Rewrite substantial portions of the article
- Add a prominent editor’s note
- Retract the article
- Remove the article from publication where justified
If an article is retracted, TechArena may retain a record explaining why the article was removed where appropriate.
11. Correction Requests
Readers can contact TechArena regarding potential errors through the publication’s official contact channels.
Correction requests:
Email: [email protected]
Please include “Correction Request” in the subject line.
TechArena will review legitimate correction requests and respond where appropriate.
12. Our Standard
Our approach is simple:
If we get something materially wrong, we will correct it.
We believe transparency about mistakes strengthens rather than weakens trust in journalism.
