Corrections Policy

Jharkhand News is committed to accurate reporting. When we make a mistake, we want to fix it quickly and openly. This policy explains how we handle errors and how you can tell us about one.

What we correct

We correct factual errors in our content, including wrong names, titles, dates, figures, places and quotations, and any statement that is misleading or unfair because of missing context. Matters of opinion, analysis or editorial judgement are not treated as errors, but we welcome your feedback on them.

How we correct

  • Significant errors — where a mistake changes the meaning of a story or could affect a person's reputation — are corrected in the article, and a note is added explaining what was wrong and when it was fixed.
  • Minor errors, such as spelling, grammar or formatting mistakes that do not change the meaning, are fixed without a note.
  • Updates. When a developing story changes because new information becomes available, rather than because we got something wrong, we update the article and may note that it has been updated.
  • Removal. We do not delete articles simply because they are inconvenient. In rare cases — for example where a story is seriously inaccurate and cannot be fixed, or where removal is required by law — we may take it down and explain why.

Stories from other publishers

Some stories on this site are summaries of reporting by other publishers, credited and linked to the original. If you find an error in one of these, please let us know: we will correct or remove our summary, and we recommend you also contact the original publisher so the error can be fixed at its source.

How to report an error

Email jharkhandsocialnews@gmail.com with the subject line “Correction” and include:

  • the link to the article;
  • what you believe is wrong, and what is correct;
  • any evidence or source that supports the correction;
  • your name and how we can contact you, in case we need to follow up.

We review every request, aim to respond within 48 hours, and will tell you what action we have taken. If the error concerns you personally, we will also consider giving you an opportunity to respond.

If you are not satisfied

If you disagree with how we have handled your request, write to us again at the same address explaining why, and a senior member of our editorial team will review the decision. See also our Terms of Use.
