Correction Policy
At Evening Washington, accuracy and accountability are central to our journalism. When errors occur, we are committed to correcting them promptly, clearly, and responsibly. This Correction Policy explains how inaccuracies are reported, reviewed, and corrected to maintain public trust.
Commitment to Accuracy
Evening Washington works to ensure that all published content is accurate at the time of publication. Despite careful editorial review, mistakes may occasionally happen. When they do, our responsibility is to acknowledge and correct them in a transparent and timely manner.
Corrections are treated as an essential part of our duty to readers and the communities we serve.
Reporting Potential Errors
Errors may be identified by members of our editorial team, sources, or readers. We encourage readers to notify us if they believe any content contains incorrect or misleading information.
To report a factual error or request a correction, please contact our editorial team at:
When submitting a correction request, please include the article title or link and a brief explanation of the issue so our editors can review it efficiently.
Review and Verification Process
All correction requests are reviewed by an editor. The editorial team examines the original content and verifies the disputed information using reliable sources and documentation.
No correction is made without confirmation that an error has occurred. If clarification is needed rather than a correction, the article may be updated to provide additional context.
How Corrections Are Published
When an error is confirmed, the article is updated as soon as reasonably possible. If the correction affects the substance of the story, a correction notice is added to the article explaining what was changed.
Correction notices are written clearly and without minimizing the mistake. Minor edits that do not change the meaning of the content, such as spelling or formatting adjustments, may be made without a formal correction notice.
Transparency and Reader Trust
Evening Washington is committed to being transparent with readers when significant factual changes are made. Updated articles may include timestamps to indicate when revisions occurred.
We do not remove published content solely to avoid acknowledging an error, except in cases involving legal, privacy, or safety considerations.
Updates and Clarifications
As stories develop and new verified information becomes available, articles may be updated to reflect the latest facts. These updates are distinguished from corrections and are intended to enhance clarity and completeness rather than fix inaccuracies.
Role of Reader Feedback
Reader feedback is an important part of maintaining accuracy and quality. Questions, concerns, or requests for clarification help strengthen our reporting and editorial practices.
For general questions or feedback about our reporting, readers may contact:
