Pub & Social wants its journalism and reference material to remain accurate after publication. This policy explains how we assess errors, make corrections and handle updates.
How to request a correction
Email info@pubsocial.co.uk or use our Contact Us page. Please include the article URL, the statement you believe is wrong, the correction you are requesting and any supporting evidence. Clear, specific information helps us investigate quickly.
What we review
We assess factual errors, misleading omissions, incorrect attribution, inaccurate headlines, broken or wrongly described links and material that has become outdated. A disagreement with an opinion or editorial conclusion is not automatically an error, but we will consider whether the underlying facts are accurate and the opinion is clearly identified.
How corrections are made
If a material error is confirmed, we will amend the article and normally add a correction or update note explaining the substance of the change. The note should be clear enough for a reader to understand what was corrected without repeating harmful or inaccurate material unnecessarily.
Minor spelling, grammar, punctuation, layout and style changes may be made without a note when they do not alter meaning. We may also update links, opening details or background information as a story develops. Substantial rewrites should retain an appropriate explanation and an updated publication date where relevant.
Timing and fairness
We aim to acknowledge credible correction requests promptly and to investigate in proportion to the seriousness of the issue. Complex disputes may require time to check documents, contact sources or seek a response from the people involved. We will not remove accurate reporting solely because it is uncomfortable or unflattering.
Archive integrity
Our preference is to correct the published record rather than quietly delete it. Removal may be considered where content is unlawful, creates an unjustifiable risk of harm, duplicates another page, or cannot be repaired responsibly.
This process sits alongside our Editorial Policy and Feedback Policy.
