At Congo Morning, we strive for accuracy and fairness in every article we publish. However, mistakes can sometimes occur. When they do, we correct them openly, quickly, and transparently.
Our readers trust us to deliver reliable journalism, and maintaining that trust requires accountability. This page explains our correction process and how you can notify us of errors.
1. Our Commitment to Accuracy
- All information is carefully verified before publication.
- If inaccuracies are identified, we act promptly to correct them.
- Corrections are visible and transparent, not hidden.
2. What Can Be Corrected
Readers can request corrections regarding:
- Factual errors (dates, names, figures, places, quotations).
- Incomplete or misleading context.
- Attribution issues (sources or citations).
- Typographical errors that could change meaning.
We do not treat simple disagreements with editorial choices or analysis as grounds for correction, unless linked to factual mistakes.
3. How to Request a Correction
If you believe an error has been published:
- Use the form available on our Contact Page.
- Include the article title, date of publication, and a clear explanation of the issue.
- Provide supporting evidence (links, documents, or references) if possible.
Our editorial team reviews each request in line with our Editorial Ethics.
4. Review and Response
- Each request is acknowledged by our editorial staff.
- If a correction is necessary, it is made promptly.
- If we determine no correction is required, we will explain our reasoning.
5. Types of Corrections
- Minor corrections (e.g., spelling, grammar, style) may be updated silently.
- Significant corrections (facts, names, figures) are clearly flagged within the article.
- Clarifications are published when additional context is needed to avoid misinterpretation.
6. Transparency Matters
Corrections are not a weakness but a duty. By correcting errors, we show respect for our readers and reinforce the seriousness of our journalism.
