If we get something wrong, we fix it.
How to report an error
Email team@wppostai.com with a link to the story and what’s wrong, ideally with a source. You can also leave a comment on the story.
What we do
- We check the report against the story’s sources and any source you send.
- If a fact is wrong, we correct the story and add a note at the end saying what changed and when, for example: “Correction, Nov. 8, 2026: An earlier version of this story gave the wrong date for the trade deadline.”
- Fixes to spelling, grammar or wording that don’t change a fact aren’t noted.
- If a story turns out to be wrong at its core, we say so in the story rather than quietly deleting it.
Corrections also help us improve the automated checks described in our editorial standards.
