We try to get every story right the first time. When we don’t, we fix it quickly and openly.
How we correct a story
When a story contains a factual error, we correct the text and add a note at the end that says what was wrong and when we fixed it. For example: “Correction, October 21, 2026: An earlier version of this story gave the wrong price for the iPad mini. It starts at $499.” We don’t quietly change facts and leave readers guessing.
Small fixes that don’t change the meaning, like a spelling mistake or a broken link, are made without a note.
If a mistake is serious enough to change what the story is about, we say so at the top as well as the bottom.
Updates
News moves. When we add new information to a story after it’s published, it shows an “Updated” time next to the original date, and we say what changed if it matters to the reader.
Rumors that don’t pan out
When we’ve reported a rumor that later turns out to be wrong, we update the story to say so rather than letting it stand.
Report a mistake
Email corrections@themacpost.com with a link to the story and what needs fixing. We look at every message, and we’ll let you know what we did about it.
