Correction Policy

At TeaNewz, we prioritize accuracy, clarity, and transparency in our reporting. If incorrect or incomplete information is published on our website, we are committed to correcting it as quickly and clearly as possible. This Correction Policy explains how we handle errors and updates in our content.

Our Premise

TeaNewz aims to deliver accurate and complete news and information based on the best available sources at the time of publication.
However, if mistakes occur, we:

Acknowledge them
Correct them promptly
Inform our readers clearly

Our goal is to maintain the trust and confidence of our audience.

Updating a Report

We may update a story for different reasons:

To correct factual errors
To add missing context or clarification
To include new information that emerged after publication

When an article is updated:

For minor changes, we correct the text within the article
For significant corrections or updates, we may:
- Add a “Correction” or “Update” note at the bottom (or top) of the story
- Clearly mention what was changed and when

We encourage readers to suggest corrections by email or through any feedback/contact option available on the website.

Corrections

Substantive corrections are made when:

A fact is wrong (date, name, number, place, quote, etc.)
A headline, caption, graphic, or video contains incorrect information

In such cases:

The article is corrected
A short note may be added to explain what was wrong and what was corrected

We do not hide corrections or silently change major mistakes.

Clarifications

Sometimes a story is factually correct, but:

Wording is confusing
Context is missing
Readers may interpret it in the wrong way

In such cases:

We update the language for clarity
We may add a “Clarification” note to explain what was improved
We can add extra details or context to avoid misunderstanding

Editor’s Notes

In rare cases, an error or issue may:

Raise ethical concerns
Affect the credibility of the story
Change the overall understanding of the article

Then, a more detailed Editor’s Note may be added to the story.

Such notes are approved by senior editors and may explain:

What went wrong
Why it was serious
How it has been corrected

Social Media & External Platforms

If a story containing incorrect information has already been shared on:

Social media (e.g., X/Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
Messaging channels
Other platforms controlled by TeaNewz

We may:

Post an update or correction
Share the corrected version of the article
Clarify the change where necessary

Reader Role – Reporting Inaccuracies

We welcome feedback from readers.

If you spot an error, you can email us at:

📧 support@teanewz.com
📌 Subject: Correction Request

Please include:

The article URL
The headline or topic
Details about the error
The correct information, if known
Any source or reference (optional but helpful)

We review all correction requests carefully.
A submission guarantees investigation, but not that a correction will always be issued—only if an error is confirmed.

Take-Down Requests

As an editorial policy:

We generally do not delete published articles simply because someone disagrees with them.
Instead, we:
- Review claims of inaccuracy
- Correct or update content when necessary
- Add follow-ups or clarifications if fairness demands it

Complete removal of content is only considered in exceptional cases (e.g., legal, safety, or privacy reasons).

Use of AI Tools in Corrections

TeaNewz may use AI-assisted tools (such as content editors, grammar checkers, or rewriting assistants) to:

Improve clarity
Fix typos or minor errors
Help speed up corrections and updates

However:

Final responsibility for all content rests with human editors
AI outputs are reviewed before being applied
We do not rely on AI as a substitute for human editorial judgment or fact-checking

If you provide us with a detailed correction request (with the story link and correct information), we will review it and, if valid, update our content and related images as needed.
