Effective Date: 25/02/2025

At The Ranchi News, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, fairness, and transparency in our reporting. Despite our rigorous editorial and fact-checking processes, errors may occasionally occur. This Corrections Policy outlines how we handle mistakes and ensure that our readers receive the most accurate and updated information.

1. Commitment to Accuracy

We strive to provide news that is factually correct and thoroughly verified. If an error is identified, we take immediate steps to correct it, ensuring transparency with our readers.

2. Types of Corrections

We classify corrections into different categories based on the nature of the error:

  • Minor Edits: Small grammatical or typographical errors that do not affect the meaning of the content. These may be corrected without a formal correction notice.
  • Factual Errors: Mistakes that involve incorrect names, dates, figures, locations, or misrepresented statements. A correction notice is added to the article.
  • Significant Errors: If an article contains major inaccuracies that could mislead readers, we will issue a correction, update the content, and, if necessary, include an editor’s note explaining the changes.

3. Process for Corrections

  1. Identification of Errors: Errors may be identified internally by our editorial team or externally by readers, sources, or fact-checking organizations.
  2. Review & Verification: Once a potential error is flagged, our editors and fact-checkers verify the claim against reliable sources.
  3. Correction & Update: If an error is confirmed, the article is updated with the correct information, and a correction notice is added if required.
  4. Notifying Readers: If the correction is significant, we may publish an update or clarification in a separate article or social media post.

4. How to Report an Error

We encourage our readers to report inaccuracies by contacting us through:

📧 Email: theranchinewss@gmail.com
📍 Address: Ranchi,Jharkhand

When reporting an error, please provide:

  • The title and link to the article in question.
  • A description of the error.
  • Any sources or evidence supporting the correction request.

5. Transparency in Corrections

  • Corrections are clearly stated at the bottom of the updated article.
  • The original mistake and the corrected information are both acknowledged.
  • If a story has been substantially revised, an Editor’s Note may be added explaining the changes.

6. Updating Developing News Stories

In cases where news is developing and information changes over time, we update our articles accordingly. Such updates will be clearly marked with timestamps.

7. Retractions

If an article is found to be fundamentally incorrect and cannot be corrected, we may issue a full retraction with an explanation for its removal.

8. Policy Updates

We may update this Corrections Policy as needed to reflect improvements in our editorial practices. Any changes will be posted on this page.

At The Ranchi News, we value the trust of our readers and are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical and journalistic standards.
