The Daily Times Advocate

The Daily Times Advocate is committed to accuracy in its reporting. Our journalists strive to present factual information precisely and without bias. When errors occur, our editorial team moves to correct them promptly and transparently.

This page details our approach to maintaining accuracy. It also provides guidance on how readers can report potential inaccuracies. Upholding factual integrity is a fundamental principle of our publication.

Our Correction Policy

The Daily Times Advocate issues corrections to address factual inaccuracies discovered in our published content. These corrections apply to articles, headlines, captions, and any other editorial material. The goal is to ensure the historical record of our reporting remains accurate.

Minor typographical errors, grammatical mistakes, or stylistic issues that do not alter the meaning of a statement are typically corrected without an explicit editor's note. Significant errors affecting the understanding or factual basis of a report will always be noted.

Types of Corrections

Our policy differentiates between several types of updates to published articles. Each type serves a distinct purpose regarding accuracy and reader understanding.

  • Factual Errors: These are direct misstatements of fact, such as incorrect names, dates, locations, or figures. When identified, the original article will be amended, and a correction notice will be appended.
  • Clarifications: Sometimes, information may be factually correct but presented in a way that could lead to misinterpretation or lack sufficient context. Our editorial team issues clarifications to provide necessary additional details or rephrase ambiguous statements.
  • Updates: Developments in an ongoing story may necessitate adding new information to a previously published article. While not errors, these updates ensure the article remains current. Significant updates will be noted.

Reporting an Error

Readers who identify a potential error in our reporting are encouraged to bring it to our attention. Prompt notification allows our editorial team to investigate and address inaccuracies swiftly.

Please send an email detailing the potential error to legal@dailytimesadvocate.com. Include the headline of the article, the date of publication, and a clear description of the alleged inaccuracy.

Our editorial team will review all error reports. We will assess the information provided against our journalistic standards and original source material. Timely responses to your reports are part of our commitment.

Commitment to Transparency

Transparency is central to our correction process. When a factual error is confirmed, the online version of the article will be corrected at the point of inaccuracy. A clear correction notice will be appended to the article.

This notice will state what was incorrect, what the correct information is, and the date the correction was made. This practice ensures that all readers are aware of the change and the reason for it.

This page will serve as a central record for significant corrections made by The Daily Times Advocate. We will list specific article corrections here as they are published. This practice reinforces our dedication to accurate reporting.
