Corrections
How we handle errors, corrections, clarifications, and retractions.
Last updated: September 27, 2026
Our commitment
First Coast Observer's policy is to correct material factual errors on the affected article. A correction entry records what changed and when.
What gets corrected vs. updated
Corrections address factual errors — wrong names, dates, numbers, locations, or attributions. The article carries a dated correction note explaining what was wrong and what is now right.
Clarifications address language that was technically accurate but could be misread. The article carries a dated clarification note.
Updates add new information as a story develops. These are noted with a timestamp but are not corrections.
Retractions are reserved for reporting that is so materially wrong it cannot be salvaged. The original article remains accessible at its URL with a retraction notice replacing the body.
How to request a correction
Email the article URL, the specific factual issue, and a source that can be checked. A request is evidence to review, not automatic proof that the published text is wrong.
