Corrections Policy | FAYFO Media

This policy explains how FAYFO Media handles corrections, clarifications, updates, minor edits and reader reports across news, explainers, guides, rankings, reviews, data articles, opinion pieces and sponsored content.

What Counts as a Correction

A correction is made when FAYFO Media determines that a published article contains a material factual error. Corrections are used when the original version was wrong in a way that could affect reader understanding, attribution, context or trust.

Examples of factual errors that may require correction include:

• Incorrect names of people, companies, products, publications, platforms or organizations.
• Wrong dates, publication timelines, launch dates, update dates or event dates.
• Wrong numbers, statistics, prices, rankings, scores, traffic figures, revenue claims or market data.
• Misattributed quotes, statements, comments or opinions.
• Incorrect descriptions of products, companies, platforms, features, policies, tools or events.
• Broken, irrelevant or misleading source references that appear to support a claim but do not.
• Material factual errors in summaries, headlines, captions, charts, screenshots or article text.

What Counts as a Clarification

A clarification is used when the original wording was not necessarily factually wrong, but could be misunderstood by readers or lacked enough context.

FAYFO Media may add a clarification when:

• A phrase was formally accurate but could reasonably be read in a misleading way.
• Additional context is needed to explain a claim, quote, statistic, ranking, product comparison or company statement.
• The methodology, source, scope or limitation behind a ranking, review, data article or guide needs to be made clearer.
• A headline, summary or caption needs clearer wording so it better reflects the article body.
• A source, company or expert response adds useful context without changing the core facts of the article.

What Counts as an Update

An update is made when new information becomes available after publication or when a previously published article needs to reflect later developments.

Updates may be used for:

• New information published after the original article went live.
• Updated data, prices, product details, rankings, scores, platform rules or company information.
• Developments in an ongoing news story.
• New statements from companies, platforms, officials, experts or other relevant parties.
• Changes to outdated details that were accurate at the time of publication but no longer reflect the current situation.
• Additional context that improves the usefulness, completeness or reliability of the article.

Minor Edits

FAYFO Media may make minor edits without adding a separate correction note when the meaning of the article does not change.

Minor edits may include:

• Grammar, spelling, punctuation or formatting fixes.
• Readability edits that do not change meaning.
• Fixing broken links when the replacement points to the same or equivalent source.
• Improving image formatting, captions, layout, metadata or accessibility text without changing the factual substance.
• Removing duplicate words, layout artifacts or technical publishing errors.

How We Review Reports

Correction reports are reviewed by the editorial team. A report does not automatically lead to a change, but serious and specific reports are reviewed carefully.

Our review process may include:

• Reviewing the published article and the reported issue.
• Checking the original source material used for the article.
• Reviewing additional documents, public records, official statements or reliable sources provided by the reader.
• Assessing whether the issue is a correction, clarification, update, minor edit or no-change request.
• Updating the article, adding a correction note or clarifying the wording when needed.

FAYFO Media cannot guarantee an individual response to every message, especially when a report is vague, promotional, abusive or unsupported. Serious reports involving factual accuracy, attribution, legal risk, reader trust or material context are reviewed.

Correction Notes

Significant factual corrections may be noted in the article. A correction note should be clear, specific and not defensive. It should help readers understand what changed and why.

Depending on the issue, FAYFO Media may:

• Add a correction note to the article.
• Add a clarification or editor’s note.
• Change the update date or visible “last updated” date.
• Revise the article headline, body text, image caption, chart, screenshot or source reference.
• Remove or replace unsupported material when necessary.

The current version of a published article is the authoritative version unless an archive, correction note or editorial note states otherwise.

Requests from advertisers, sponsors, PR representatives, covered companies, product teams or commercial partners do not automatically lead to changes. FAYFO Media reviews such requests based on factual merit, source evidence and reader interest.

We may correct an error reported by a company or sponsor if the factual basis is established. We do not change independent editorial conclusions, criticism, analysis or coverage priorities simply because a covered party disagrees with them.
