Corrections Policy
Last Updated: June 24, 2026
At Right News India, accuracy, transparency, fairness, and accountability are central to our journalism. We understand that even with careful reporting, reviewing, and fact-checking, errors may occasionally occur. Our Corrections Policy explains how we identify, review, correct, clarify, and communicate errors in content published on RightNewsIndia.com.
We are committed to correcting verified inaccuracies promptly and ensuring that our readers have access to reliable, updated, and trustworthy information.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Right News India aims to publish news and information that is accurate, balanced, responsibly sourced, and presented in the proper context.
Before publication, our editorial team makes reasonable efforts to verify:
- Names, dates, locations, figures, and quotations;
- Information received from official or credible sources;
- Claims made by individuals, organisations, or public authorities;
- Photographs, videos, documents, and other supporting material;
- The context and relevance of information included in a report.
When a factual error is brought to our attention, we review the matter objectively and take appropriate corrective action where necessary.
What May Be Corrected?
A correction may be issued when published content contains a verified factual error, including but not limited to:
- Incorrect names, dates, ages, locations, or designations;
- Inaccurate statistics, figures, or numerical information;
- Misquoted or wrongly attributed statements;
- Incorrect identification of a person, organisation, photograph, or video;
- Material omissions that significantly affect the meaning of a report;
- Misleading headlines, captions, summaries, or social media posts;
- Incorrect links or references;
- Translation or transcription errors;
- Information that has been officially updated or clarified after publication.
Minor spelling, grammatical, punctuation, formatting, or typographical errors that do not alter the meaning of an article may be corrected without a separate correction notice.
Types of Corrections
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the issue, Right News India may take one or more of the following actions.
1. Minor Edit
Minor spelling, grammatical, punctuation, formatting, or technical mistakes may be corrected directly when they do not materially change the meaning or substance of the content.
2. Correction
When a factual error affects part of a published report, the incorrect information will be corrected. A correction note may be added to the article explaining what was changed.
3. Clarification
A clarification may be added when the original information was factually correct but could be misunderstood, lacked sufficient context, or required additional explanation.
4. Update
An article may be updated when new, verified, and relevant information becomes available after the original publication. Where appropriate, an update note may be included to inform readers about the addition.
5. Editor’s Note
An editor’s note may be added when a correction, dispute, ethical concern, legal development, or significant editorial decision requires a more detailed explanation.
6. Retraction or Removal
Complete removal or retraction of published content is considered only in exceptional circumstances, such as when:
- The central claim of a report is proven to be substantially false;
- The content violates applicable law or a valid legal order;
- Publication creates a serious and unjustifiable risk of harm;
- Personal information was published without sufficient public-interest justification;
- Copyrighted or unlawfully obtained material must be removed;
- The content was published due to fraud, manipulation, impersonation, or fabricated evidence.
Where practical, a retraction notice or editorial explanation may remain available so that readers understand why the content was withdrawn.
How Corrections Are Displayed
For significant factual corrections, Right News India may place a correction note within the article, generally at the beginning or end of the page.
The note may include:
- The date on which the correction was made;
- A brief description of the inaccurate information;
- The corrected or clarified information;
- An explanation of the change, where appropriate.
We do not intend to make silent changes to material factual errors. However, minor typographical, stylistic, grammatical, or formatting edits may be made without a public notice when they do not alter the substance of the report.
Headlines, Images and Social Media Corrections
Our Corrections Policy also applies to headlines, photographs, captions, videos, thumbnails, graphics, notifications, and social media posts published by Right News India.
If an error appears only in a headline, image caption, thumbnail, or social media post, we may correct or replace the affected material. When necessary, we may publish a follow-up clarification or corrected social media post.
Deleting a social media post may be considered when correcting the existing post is not possible or when leaving it online could continue to spread materially inaccurate information.
Reporting an Error
Readers, sources, organisations, and other affected parties are encouraged to report possible inaccuracies.
To request a correction, please email:
Editorial Corrections: editor@rightnewsindia.com
General Enquiries: admin@rightnewsindia.com
Please use the subject line:
Correction Request – Article Title or URL
Your correction request should preferably include:
- The URL of the article or content;
- The headline and publication date, if available;
- The specific sentence, claim, photograph, caption, or information in question;
- A clear explanation of why you believe it is inaccurate;
- The correct information;
- Reliable documents, official records, links, or other supporting evidence;
- Your name and contact details.
Providing clear and verifiable evidence will help our editorial team review the request efficiently.
Review of Correction Requests
Every genuine correction request is reviewed on its merits. Our editorial team may:
- Recheck the original source material;
- Contact the reporter, editor, source, or relevant authority;
- Review documents, recordings, photographs, or official statements;
- Seek additional evidence or clarification from the person submitting the request;
- Consult editorial, technical, or legal professionals where necessary.
Submitting a correction request does not automatically mean that the content will be changed or removed. Corrections are made when the available evidence shows that published information is materially inaccurate, misleading, incomplete, or presented without necessary context.
Response Time
We aim to review credible correction requests as promptly as reasonably possible.
The time required may depend on:
- The seriousness and complexity of the alleged error;
- The availability of reliable evidence;
- The need to contact sources or public authorities;
- Whether the matter involves an ongoing investigation, court proceeding, or developing event.
Urgent errors involving public safety, identity, significant reputational harm, or materially false information may receive priority.
Disputed Claims
In some cases, two or more parties may provide conflicting versions of an event. A disagreement with a report does not, by itself, establish that the report is inaccurate.
When a claim remains genuinely disputed, Right News India may:
- Add the response of the affected person or organisation;
- Clarify that a claim is disputed;
- Attribute allegations more clearly;
- Add supporting context or documentary evidence;
- Update the report when new verified information becomes available.
We will not knowingly present allegations, opinions, speculation, or unverified claims as established facts.
Requests Based on Opinion or Disagreement
Corrections are intended for factual inaccuracies and material omissions. They are not normally issued merely because a reader disagrees with:
- An editorial opinion;
- Political analysis;
- Commentary or interpretation;
- A review or criticism;
- A properly attributed statement made by another person;
- A conclusion reasonably based on disclosed facts.
However, factual statements contained within opinion, analysis, or commentary content remain subject to correction.
Right of Reply
A person or organisation directly affected by a report may request an opportunity to provide a response, clarification, or supporting information.
The publication of a reply is subject to editorial review. Right News India may edit a response for length, clarity, relevance, legal compliance, and adherence to editorial standards without changing its essential meaning.
A right-of-reply request should be sent to:
Developing and Breaking News
Breaking news stories often develop rapidly. Initial reports may be updated as official statements, verified figures, eyewitness accounts, court records, or other reliable information becomes available.
An update caused by newly available information is not necessarily a correction. However, when previously published information is shown to be inaccurate, we will correct it in accordance with this policy.
The “Published” and “Updated” timestamps may be used to indicate when an article was originally published and subsequently revised.
Legal Notices and Removal Requests
Requests involving defamation, privacy, copyright, court orders, personal data, or other legal concerns should be sent to:
The request should include the relevant article URL, a detailed explanation of the concern, supporting documentation, and the sender’s complete contact information.
We assess such requests in accordance with applicable law, editorial standards, public-interest considerations, and the rights of all parties involved.
Advertising Corrections
Questions or concerns relating specifically to advertisements, sponsored content, commercial partnerships, or promotional material should be sent to:
Sponsored or paid content should be clearly distinguishable from independent editorial reporting. Any verified factual error within commercial content may be corrected in coordination with the advertiser while maintaining transparency for readers.
Abuse of the Corrections Process
Right News India welcomes genuine feedback and good-faith correction requests. However, we may decline to engage with requests that are:
- Abusive, threatening, defamatory, or harassing;
- Repetitive and unsupported by new evidence;
- Intended to suppress accurate public-interest reporting;
- Based solely on political, personal, or ideological disagreement;
- Submitted using false identities or fabricated evidence;
- Part of a coordinated attempt to manipulate our editorial process.
Such requests will not influence our commitment to independent journalism.
Accountability and Editorial Independence
Corrections are made on the basis of evidence, accuracy, fairness, and editorial judgement. Advertisers, sponsors, political parties, government bodies, private organisations, and other external interests do not have the right to improperly control our correction decisions.
Our editorial team retains final responsibility for determining whether content requires correction, clarification, updating, restriction, retraction, or removal.
Policy Updates
Right News India may revise this Corrections Policy to reflect changes in editorial practices, technology, legal requirements, industry standards, or the operation of our website.
Any revised version will be published on this page with an updated revision date. Readers are encouraged to review this page periodically.
