At Gauteng.News, accuracy and accountability are central to our journalism. We are committed to correcting errors promptly and transparently whenever they are identified.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We strive to ensure that all information published on Gauteng.News is factual, fair, and verified at the time of publication. Despite rigorous editorial standards, errors may occasionally occur. When they do, we take responsibility for correcting them as quickly and clearly as possible.
How Corrections Are Handled
- Minor corrections (such as spelling, grammar, or formatting errors) are corrected without a formal notice if they do not affect the substance of the article.
- Substantive corrections (including factual inaccuracies, misstatements, or misleading information) are clearly noted within the article.
- When appropriate, a correction notice will explain what was changed and why.
- Articles may also be updated as new information becomes available, particularly for developing or breaking news stories.
Article Updates and Timestamps
Gauteng News distinguishes clearly between routine edits and material updates to published articles.
Minor changes — including spelling, grammar, formatting, headline refinements, or SEO-related adjustments — may be made without altering the article’s original publication date or displaying an updated timestamp.
An “Updated” label or timestamp is applied only when an article undergoes a material change, including:
- Corrections to factual inaccuracies
- Clarification of misleading or incomplete information
- Addition of new, verified information that materially affects the understanding of the story
Where appropriate, material updates or corrections are disclosed transparently within the article to inform readers of what has changed and why.
Reader Feedback and Reporting Errors
We encourage readers to help us maintain high standards by reporting inaccuracies or omissions.
If you believe an article contains an error, please contact us with the following details:
- A link to the article
- A description of the issue
- Any relevant supporting information
You can submit corrections or concerns via our Contact Us page.
Editorial Independence
Corrections are made independently by our editorial team. Advertisers, sponsors, or external parties do not influence correction decisions.
Transparency
All corrections are made in good faith and with the aim of providing our audience with the most accurate and reliable information possible.
Maintaining trust with our readers is essential to our mission, and we view corrections as an important part of responsible journalism.
