Corrections Policy

Last updated 5 November 2026

We take accuracy seriously, and news moves fast enough that errors will happen. When we get something wrong, we fix it openly — a correction that readers cannot see is not a correction.

If you find a factual error, email hello@breakinghour.blog with the article link and the passage concerned. Please include the correct information and, where possible, a source we can check. We read every report, and we check a reported error against our primary sources before changing anything — a correction must be verified just as carefully as the original claim.

Confirmed errors are corrected promptly. What counts as a significant error is any wrong fact, figure, name, date, quotation or description that could change a reader's understanding of the story. Significant corrections are always noted on the article, with the date and time of the change.

For live and developing stories, corrections are handled in the open on the story itself. A correction is appended to the article's live-updates timeline as a timestamped entry, and a correction note is added to the article body stating what was wrong and what the correct information is. The original error is not silently rewritten out of the record: the correction stays visible alongside the updated text, so a reader who saw the earlier version can see exactly what changed and when.

For articles that are not live stories, a significant correction is noted at the end of the article with the date of the change, and the article's updated time is refreshed. Minor corrections, such as typos or small clarifications that do not change the meaning, are fixed without a note.

We do not silently rewrite articles to change their conclusions. If new information changes what a story says, we update the article, date the change, and — for live stories — record it in the live-updates timeline, so the record stays honest.

If the central claim of a story proves to be false, we correct it prominently at the top of the article and in the live-updates timeline where one exists, rather than quietly editing it away. We remove an article only for legal or safety reasons, and if we do, we say so on the page rather than leaving a silent gap.

Corrections are not a sign of failure — they are how a newsroom that publishes around the clock stays trustworthy. If you report an error and we confirm it, the correction will be visible on the article itself, not buried anywhere else.
