Effective Date: 27 July 2026
At Hindi News Bharat, we recognise that accuracy is fundamental to responsible journalism. While every reasonable effort is made to verify information before publication, mistakes may occasionally occur. When an error is identified, we are committed to correcting it promptly, fairly, and transparently.
This Corrections Policy explains how we review reported errors and the steps we take to maintain the accuracy and integrity of our published content.
Our Commitment
Hindi News Bharat is committed to maintaining the trust of its readers by:
publishing accurate and verified information;
acknowledging genuine errors when identified;
correcting factual inaccuracies without unnecessary delay;
updating developing news stories as new verified information becomes available; and
maintaining transparency in our editorial process.
Correcting mistakes is an essential part of responsible journalism and reflects our commitment to editorial accountability.
Types of Corrections
Depending on the nature of the issue, Hindi News Bharat may take one or more of the following actions:
Minor Corrections
Minor errors that do not alter the meaning or substance of an article—such as spelling, grammar, formatting, punctuation, or typographical mistakes—may be corrected without issuing a separate editorial note.
Factual Corrections
Where a factual inaccuracy is identified, verified, and confirmed by our editorial team, the relevant content will be corrected as soon as reasonably practicable.
This may include corrections relating to:
names;
dates;
locations;
statistics;
quotations;
designations;
photographs or captions; or
other factual information.
Clarifications
Where information is technically correct but may reasonably be misunderstood due to wording or context, we may revise the content or add clarification to improve accuracy and understanding.
Updates
News stories often develop after publication. Articles may therefore be updated to include:
official statements;
investigation outcomes;
court proceedings;
government notifications;
additional verified information; or
other significant developments.
Updates should not be interpreted as corrections unless a factual error has been identified.
Reader Requests
Readers who believe an article contains an error are encouraged to contact us.
When submitting a correction request, please include:
the article title or web link;
details of the information believed to be incorrect;
supporting evidence or references, where available; and
your contact details, if you would like a response.
Every request is reviewed by the editorial team in good faith.
Editorial Review Process
Upon receiving a correction request, our editorial team may:
review the published content;
examine supporting documents;
consult the original reporter or editor;
verify information through reliable sources; and
determine whether a correction, clarification, update, or no action is appropriate.
Editorial decisions are made independently and based solely on verified evidence.
Removal of Content
In limited circumstances, Hindi News Bharat may remove or substantially revise published content where:
information is proven to be materially inaccurate;
publication violates applicable law;
a court or competent authority directs removal;
copyright infringement is established; or
continued publication may cause serious and unjustifiable harm.
Removal of content is considered only after appropriate editorial and legal review.
Editorial Independence
Requests from individuals, organisations, advertisers, sponsors, or public authorities will not result in corrections unless the editorial team independently determines that a correction is justified based on verified facts or legal requirements.
Editorial independence remains central to every correction decision.
Timeframe
Hindi News Bharat aims to review correction requests as promptly as reasonably possible.
The time required may vary depending on:
the complexity of the issue;
availability of supporting evidence;
the need for additional verification; and
the public significance of the matter.
