Correction Policy for SJBC
(Hereinafter referred to as “SJBC”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to accountability towards our readers. This Correction Policy outlines the steps we take to rectify any inaccuracies published on our website. We take responsibility for promptly addressing errors and keeping our readers informed.
Core Principle
We strive to present news based on complete and accurate information available at the time of publication. If an error is identified, we take immediate corrective action. Corrections are made not only on our website but also across social media platforms, along with editor’s notes (where applicable) explaining the nature of the error and how it was rectified. In cases of significant misinformation, we issue a public apology at the earliest opportunity.
Updating Reports
When a news report is updated or corrected, we add a visible note to inform readers. For major corrections or updates, we include a bold disclaimer at the top of the article (e.g., “[Correction: Updated Information]”) with a clear explanation of the changes made.
Readers may also submit correction requests by:
- Emailing us at goviralon@gmail.com
Corrections
If a significant error is found in an article, photo caption, headline, graphic, video, or other content, we promptly publish a correction notice detailing the nature of the revision.
Clarifications
If a report is factually accurate but lacks clarity or context, we improve the language and provide additional explanation. We also issue clarifications when:
- A relevant comment or response was initially omitted but later added.
- The original wording could be misinterpreted.
Editor’s Notes
An Editor’s Note is added when:
- A correction raises ethical concerns or fundamentally alters the article’s context.
- A serious journalistic oversight requires public acknowledgment.
Such notes are approved by senior editors.
Additional Correction Policies
- Reader Comments: If a reader points out an error in the comments section, our team may post a correction response there.
- Social Media: Misinformation on our social media channels is corrected or removed immediately.
- Accountability: We do not blame individual reporters or editors for unintentional errors.
Reporting Errors
If you spot an error, you can:
- Use the “Suggest a Correction” feature on our website.
- Email us at goviralon@gmail.com with details.
Take-Down Requests
- General Policy: We do not routinely honor take-down requests. If factual inaccuracies are alleged, we investigate and publish corrections where needed. Older content may be updated or followed up, but full removal is rare.
- Exceptions: Take-down requests are considered only if:
- The individual faces a physical safety threat due to publicly available personal information.
- Required by legal order.
