Jurisdiction: Republic of India

1. Introduction

Accuracy and accountability are fundamental principles of responsible journalism. At Indian Drishti, we are committed to maintaining high editorial standards and correcting errors transparently and promptly when they occur.

News reporting involves rapidly evolving information, public statements, data releases, and real-time developments. While we make reasonable efforts to verify information before publication, we acknowledge that mistakes can occasionally happen.

This Corrections Policy outlines how we identify, review, and correct inaccuracies.

2. Our Commitment to Accuracy

Indian Drishti strives to:

Verify information using credible sources.
Cross-check publicly available data before publication.
Rely on official announcements where possible.
Avoid speculation or unverified claims.
Maintain neutrality in reporting.

Despite these efforts, errors may arise due to evolving facts, typographical mistakes, source revisions, or editorial oversight.

When inaccuracies are identified, we are committed to correcting them responsibly.

3. Types of Corrections

Corrections may fall into one of the following categories:

A. Minor Corrections

These may include:

Spelling mistakes
Grammar errors
Formatting issues
Minor typographical mistakes
Non-substantive clarity edits

Such corrections may be made without formal correction notices, provided they do not alter the meaning of the content.

B. Substantive Corrections

These include:

Incorrect names
Incorrect figures or statistics
Misstated dates or locations
Incorrect attribution
Factual inaccuracies
Misinterpretation of official statements

When a substantive error is identified:

The article will be updated.
A correction note may be added at the bottom of the article.
The correction will clearly clarify the original error.

C. Clarifications

In some cases, content may be factually correct but unclear or potentially misleading.

In such situations:

Clarifications may be added.
Additional context may be provided.
Headline adjustments may be made if necessary.

D. Updates to Developing Stories

News stories often evolve over time.

When new verified information becomes available:

Articles may be updated.
Timestamps may reflect updates.
Context may be expanded.

Updates to reflect new developments are not considered corrections unless the original information was inaccurate.

4. Reader-Initiated Corrections

We value reader feedback and encourage our audience to report potential inaccuracies.

If you believe an article contains an error, please contact us with:

The article URL

5. Review Process

The editorial team reviews the claim.
Sources and documentation are re-examined.
If necessary, additional verification is conducted.
A decision is made by editorial leadership.

If an error is confirmed:

The content will be corrected promptly.
A correction note may be added where appropriate.

If the claim is unsubstantiated or inaccurate, no changes will be made.

6. Transparency in Corrections

Indian Drishti believes in transparent accountability.

For significant factual errors:

A correction notice may be added at the end of the article.
The notice may describe the nature of the error.
The corrected information will be clearly stated.

We do not attempt to conceal substantive corrections.

7. Retractions

In rare circumstances where:

A story is found to be fundamentally flawed,
Information cannot be verified,
Legal concerns arise,

We may remove or retract an article.

If a retraction occurs:

A public notice may replace the article.
The reason for retraction may be summarized.

Retractions are used only when necessary.

Timeframes may vary depending on:

The post may be corrected or removed.
Updated information may be reposted if necessary.

10. Responsibility and Accountability

The final responsibility for editorial accuracy rests with:

The Editor-in-Chief
The editorial review team

All published content undergoes editorial oversight before publication.

However, accountability extends beyond publication. We remain open to legitimate feedback and correction requests.

11. Protection Against Misuse

While we encourage corrections, Indian Drishti reserves the right to reject requests that are:

Politically motivated without factual basis
Defamatory in nature
Intended to suppress accurate reporting
Unsupported by evidence

Correction requests must be based on verifiable facts.

12. AI-Assisted Content Oversight

Indian Drishti may use AI-assisted tools for research structuring or draft organization.

However:

All content is reviewed by human editors.
No article is published without human oversight.
Final responsibility for accuracy remains with the editorial team.

If AI-assisted drafting results in factual inaccuracies, such errors will be corrected under this policy.

13. Legal Compliance

This Corrections Policy operates under the laws of the Republic of India.

In cases involving legal claims, defamation concerns, or court directives:

Legal guidance may be sought.
Content may be reviewed in accordance with applicable Indian laws.

14. Continuous Improvement

Indian Drishti views corrections not as failures, but as part of responsible journalism.

We aim to:

Improve internal verification processes.
