Corrections Policy

At Sangri Times English (https://en.sangritimes.com), published under Sangri Media (a unit of Sangri Internet Private Limited), our commitment to accuracy, integrity, and journalistic ethics is paramount. While our editorial team enforces strict verification and fact-checking protocols before publication, errors can occasionally occur.

When a factual mistake is identified, our policy is to acknowledge, correct, and document it promptly and transparently. We believe that owning our mistakes is essential to maintaining reader trust and upholding institutional credibility.

1. Categories of Corrections & Updates

We distinguish between different types of content updates to maintain clarity for our audience:

  • Factual Corrections: If an article contains a material error of fact (e.g., incorrect names, dates, figures, locations, or distorted statements), we issue a formal correction. The text is updated immediately, and a visible correction note is appended to the article.

  • Clarifications: If an article is factually accurate but the phrasing is ambiguous, misleading, or lacks essential background context, we revise the wording and append a clarification note.

  • Minor Typos & Formatting: Minor spelling errors, grammatical slips, or formatting adjustments that do not alter the facts, meaning, or context of a story are updated directly without a formal note.

  • Developing News Stories: News events that evolve rapidly are updated continuously. Adding fresh, verified details to a live news story does not constitute a correction unless previously published information was incorrect.

2. Standard Format for Displaying Corrections

To ensure radical transparency, we do not quietly alter published articles. When a substantial correction or clarification is made, it is displayed as follows:

  1. Correction Note Location: A clear note is added at the end (or top, in major cases) of the updated article.

  2. Details Included: The note states the date of the correction, what the original error was, and what the correct factual detail is.

  3. Headline Corrections: If an error occurs within an article’s headline, the headline is updated immediately, and the reason for the change is documented in the correction note at the bottom.

3. Major Retractions & Editor’s Notes

In rare instances where an entire story fails to meet core journalistic standards, relies on compromised sources, or is found to be fundamentally flawed:

  • Retractions: The story will be formally retracted.

  • Editorial Explanation: The original inaccurate text will be removed, and a statement from the Editor-in-Chief or Editorial Board will be published in its place, explaining clearly why the story was pulled and providing full context to the public.

4. Cross-Platform & Social Media Corrections

Because our reporting spreads across multiple digital channels, our corrections follow the content:

  • Social Media Channels: If a false or misleading statement is posted to our social media platforms (such as X/Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram), we will delete or edit the post promptly and issue a correction post linking back to the updated article on our website.

5. How Readers Can Report an Error
