Corrections Policy
At What’s On Pakistan, we are fully committed to accuracy, editorial transparency, and accountability. While our news desk carefully verifies every report before publication, fast-moving news environments can occasionally lead to errors. This Corrections Policy details how we handle factual updates, corrections, retractions, and reader feedback.
What’s On Pakistan deeply values the trust of its readers. Whenever an error is identified in any published news story or feature, our desk reviews the issue promptly and implements corrections as quickly as possible to ensure our reporting remains reliable, accurate, and current.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We make every reasonable effort to cross-check facts prior to publishing. If an error is uncovered post-publication, we immediately investigate and correct it.
Maintaining journalistic accuracy is an ongoing, daily responsibility rather than a one-time check.
Types of Corrections
Minor Corrections
Typographical errors, grammatical slips, minor formatting adjustments, or corrected hyperlink errors may be fixed silently without a formal notice since they do not alter the core substance or meaning of the report.
Factual Corrections
If a published story contains inaccurate facts, wrong figures, incorrect names, faulty dates, misattributed quotations, or mistaken statistics, we revise the content immediately upon verification.
Major Revisions
When significant breaking information changes after publication, we update the article substantially and incorporate an editor’s note explaining the nature of the update.
How Corrections Are Reviewed
Every reported error or correction request is rigorously investigated by senior news editors against verified primary and secondary sources:
- Official government press statements and institutional briefings.
- Direct announcements from primary stakeholders or verified authorities.
- Primary source documents and official transcripts.
- Recognized international news agencies and credible press associations.
Reader Correction Requests
Our audience plays an essential watchdog role. If a reader believes a report contains an inaccurate or outdated fact, they are encouraged to contact our news desk with supporting evidence.
Every genuine correction submission is investigated thoroughly and fairly by our editorial team.
Continuous Content Updates
Developing news stories and ongoing reports are frequently updated throughout the day to reflect fresh developments, policy shifts, or official statements, keeping our readership fully informed.
Retractions
In rare instances where a published report is found to be fundamentally flawed, heavily inaccurate, or in direct violation of our ethical code, the article may be completely retracted or removed, accompanied by a transparent editor’s statement where appropriate.
Editorial Independence
All editorial corrections and updates are executed strictly on the basis of verified facts. We never alter, suppress, or modify news content in response to commercial pressure, corporate advertisers, or external entities.
