At AONews.fr, we are committed to delivering accurate, fair, and responsible journalism. Despite our rigorous editorial standards and fact-checking procedures, errors can occasionally occur. This Correction Policy outlines how we handle such situations with transparency and accountability.
1. Our Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy is the cornerstone of our credibility. Before publishing any article, our editorial team verifies all facts, sources, quotes, and multimedia content. However, if we discover that incorrect or misleading information has been published, we take immediate steps to correct the mistake.
2. Types of Corrections
We address inaccuracies based on their nature and impact:
-
Minor Edits (e.g., typos, grammar, formatting): These are silently corrected without a formal note, provided they do not alter the meaning of the content.
-
Substantive Corrections: If a factual error is identified (e.g., incorrect names, dates, data, quotes, or statements), we update the article and add a Correction Note at the bottom indicating what was corrected and when.
-
Updates: When new information becomes available that significantly adds to or changes a story, we update the article and mark it with an Editor’s Note or Update Notice.
-
Retractions: In rare cases where an article is found to be fundamentally flawed or false, we may retract it entirely. A notice will be published explaining the reason for the retraction.
3. How to Request a Correction
If you believe an article on AONews.fr contains inaccurate, misleading, or outdated information, we encourage you to notify us. Please send the following details to corrections@aonews.fr:
-
The URL of the article
-
A brief description of the error
-
The correct information (if available)
-
Any supporting documents or evidence
Our editorial team will review your request and respond as soon as possible, typically within 48 hours.
4. Transparency in Corrections
When we publish corrections, we do so clearly and transparently. The correction note will include:
-
What was incorrect
-
What has been corrected
-
The date of the correction
Example:
Correction (May 12, 2025): An earlier version of this article misstated the number of attendees at the event. The correct number is 3,000, not 5,000.
5. Responsibility and Editorial Review
All corrections are overseen by our editorial leadership. Depending on the severity of the issue, internal reviews may be conducted to understand how the error occurred and prevent similar issues in the future.
Our Pledge
Corrections are not just about fixing mistakes — they are about maintaining your trust. At AONews.fr, we pledge to act swiftly, transparently, and responsibly whenever errors occur.
