Publishing Policies

 

I will never publish something knowingly false, regardless of the author. However, journalists, like most people, are human. Corrections follow these guidelines:

  • Minor errors may be corrected and reposted seamlessly and without
      notification. For example, if a post has grammar or minor spelling errors,
      I reserve the right to correct them without informing readers.
  • A misspelling to a proper noun, such as a person’s name, is a graver
      offense. Corrections of this nature get a permanent note within the updated
      text. For example: [Corrected 13 March, 2004 to 'Smith' from 'Smyth']
  • Major factual errors include flat-out mischaracterizations and their
      ilk. For example, suppose I or one of the guest authors misquotes a source.
      In such a case, the post will be corrected and reposted with the words
      CORRECTED, SEE ORIGINAL BELOW at the top of it. The reason for the correction
      will precede the original text.

    •  
      Readers are encouraged to report factual and other errors to the editor.
