At Morganable Newspaper, accuracy is central to our journalism. We are committed to correcting significant errors promptly, clearly, and fairly. As an independent digital-first newspaper owned by Morganable Media Group, we believe accountability is essential to public trust.
This Corrections Policy explains how Morganable handles factual errors, clarifications, updates, and reader concerns about the accuracy or fairness of our published content.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Morganable aims to publish journalism that is accurate, verified, and presented in proper context. We work to check facts carefully before publication, but we recognise that mistakes can occasionally occur. When they do, we take responsibility and act to correct the record.
Our approach is guided by four principles:
Promptness — we aim to address significant errors without unnecessary delay.
Transparency — we aim to explain important corrections clearly.
Fairness — we assess correction requests carefully and impartially.
Accountability — we accept responsibility when our journalism falls short of our standards.
What We Correct
We will review and, where appropriate, correct significant factual errors in our reporting. These may include errors involving:
- names, titles, dates, places, and identifying details
- figures, statistics, quotations, and attributions
- descriptions of events, timelines, or public records
- claims that materially misstate the facts of a story
- omissions or wording that create a seriously misleading impression
Not every complaint will result in a correction. Morganable may decline requests that are based on disagreement with fair reporting, comment, or editorial judgement where the underlying facts are accurate.
Where language is imprecise but not materially inaccurate, we may issue a clarification rather than a formal correction.
How Corrections Are Made
The way a correction is handled depends on the seriousness and nature of the error. Morganable may respond in one or more of the following ways:
- correct the text directly
- add a correction note at the foot of the article
- add a clarification note where the issue is one of precision or context
- add an editor’s note in cases involving a significant editorial concern
- remove content in exceptional circumstances where publication is seriously flawed, unfair, or legally problematic
Where an error is minor and does not materially affect the meaning of the article, we may correct it without a formal note. Where an error is significant, we aim to note the correction transparently so readers understand what changed.
Updates to Developing Stories
Some stories evolve as new verified information becomes available. In such cases, Morganable may update an article after publication to reflect new facts, later statements, official developments, or additional reporting.
An update is not necessarily a correction. Updates may include:
- new verified information
- responses from relevant individuals or organisations received after first publication
- legal, regulatory, or official developments
- further reporting that materially advances the story
Where an update significantly changes the understanding of a story, we will aim to make that clear to readers.
Requests for Correction
Readers, sources, organisations, and subjects of coverage may contact Morganable to report an inaccuracy or request a correction.
To help us review a concern efficiently, requests should include:
- the headline or link to the article
- the specific statement believed to be inaccurate or misleading
- an explanation of why it is incorrect
- any supporting evidence or relevant documentation
- contact details in case further clarification is required
Submitting a request does not guarantee that a correction will be made, but all serious factual complaints should be considered by the editorial team.
Editorial Review Process
When a correction request is received, Morganable may:
- review the article and relevant source material
- consult the reporter, editor, or contributor involved
- seek additional information or clarification where necessary
- determine whether a correction, clarification, update, or no change is warranted
We aim to assess serious factual complaints responsibly and within a reasonable timeframe, particularly where the alleged error may affect reputation, public understanding, or the fairness of our reporting.
Fairness and Right of Reply
Where a story contains serious criticism or allegations, Morganable seeks, where appropriate and reasonably practicable, to give the relevant person or organisation an opportunity to respond before publication.
If a meaningful response is received after publication and is relevant to the substance of the story, we may update the article or publish a clarification where appropriate.
Serious Editorial Failures
Where a publication involves a major factual failure, a serious fairness issue, or a substantial editorial lapse, Morganable may take stronger corrective action. This may include a prominent correction, an editor’s note, temporary withdrawal of content pending review, or permanent removal where justified.
Such decisions are made with regard to editorial integrity, legal obligations, and the public interest.
Accountability to Readers
Morganable values reader trust and public scrutiny. Constructive feedback strengthens journalism, and we welcome responsible engagement from readers who believe our reporting may be inaccurate, unfair, or misleading.
We take concerns about standards seriously and seek to respond in a manner consistent with our editorial responsibilities.
Contact Us
If you would like to report a possible error, request a correction, or raise a concern about the accuracy of our reporting, please contact the editorial team through our official editorial channels.

Our Standard
At Morganable Newspaper, correction is not a weakness of journalism; it is part of its integrity. When we get something important wrong, we correct it clearly, fairly, and promptly.
This Corrections Policy forms part of Morganable’s wider commitment to responsible, transparent, and accountable journalism.
