Accuracy
We publish a lot of numbers. Some of them will be wrong. Here is exactly what happens when you tell us.
Report an error
editorial@gunjita.comEmail editorial@gunjita.com with the page URL and the specific figure or sentence you believe is wrong. A source helps but is not required. You do not need to be polite about it.
We go back to the reporting and the sources behind the piece to work out whether the article got it wrong, and if so, how. We check it against the record before we change anything.
If the piece is wrong, we fix it. Where the correction changes the substance, we add a dated note at the foot of the article explaining what was wrong and what it now says.
A single mistake can appear in more than one article. After any correction we check related pieces that relied on the same claim and fix those too.
A corrected article carries a visible updated date, and its machine-readable modification date changes too. We do not silently edit a published piece and leave it looking untouched.
Not every correction is our mistake. News is provisional. Official figures get revised, court rulings are appealed, and the facts of a developing story can change days or weeks after we publish. When that happens, we update the article rather than leave an outdated version standing.
Where a correction changes the substance of a piece, we say so clearly at the foot of the article — what was wrong, what it now says, and when we changed it. A detail that was true when written and false afterwards is still something we owe our readers an honest note about.
