MediaAtLife Corrections Policy
Effective date: July 11, 2026
Last updated: July 11, 2026
MediaAtLife aims to correct meaningful factual errors clearly and promptly.
We distinguish between factual corrections, routine updates, clarifications and stylistic changes.
What Counts as a Correction?
A correction may be required when an article contains an inaccurate statement involving:
- A person’s name or identity
- A date, age or location
- A quotation
- A relationship or family detail
- A professional role
- A release date
- A legal allegation
- A financial figure
- A production or casting detail
- The outcome of an event
- The source of an image or video
Minor Changes
Small changes may be made without a formal correction note when they do not alter the meaning of the article.
Examples include:
- Spelling
- Grammar
- Formatting
- Broken links
- Minor style improvements
- Headline capitalisation
Clarifications
A clarification may be added when the original wording was technically accurate but could reasonably be misunderstood.
The clarification will explain the relevant context without falsely describing accurate reporting as an error.
Significant Corrections
When a material factual error is confirmed, we may:
- Correct the inaccurate information.
- Add a correction note to the article.
- Update the modification date.
- Correct related social media posts where practical.
- Notify distribution partners when appropriate.
A correction note may say:
“Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated [incorrect information]. The article has been updated to reflect [correct information].”
Updates
An update is not necessarily a correction.
We may add an update when:
- A representative responds
- A release date is officially confirmed
- A developing story changes
- New verified information becomes available
- An allegation is denied
- A rumour is confirmed or disproved
The article may include an update note explaining what was added.
Deletion and Removal Requests
We do not normally remove accurate, lawfully published and newsworthy information simply because it has become inconvenient or unpopular.
Removal may be considered when:
- Content creates an unjustifiable safety risk
- A serious legal concern is established
- Private information was published without sufficient justification
- The article concerns mistaken identity
- An image was used without appropriate permission
- Continued publication would be clearly unfair and no longer serve a legitimate public interest
Where possible, correction or anonymisation may be considered before complete removal.
How to Request a Correction
Email:
Use the subject line:
Correction Request – [Article Headline]
Include:
- Your full name
- Your relationship to the story
- The article URL
- The exact statement in question
- An explanation of why it is inaccurate
- Reliable supporting evidence
- Your preferred contact details
We may ask for additional information before making a decision.
Review Process
Correction requests are reviewed by an editor.
We consider:
- The original sources
- Newly provided evidence
- Whether the statement is factual or opinion
- The seriousness of the alleged error
- Whether the requested change would make the article less accurate
- Whether a correction, clarification, update or no change is appropriate
We may not respond individually to abusive, repetitive or unsupported requests.
