Corrections Policy

Georgia Raw distinguishes a factual correction from a clarification or ordinary update. A correction fixes information that was wrong. A clarification makes accurate reporting easier to understand. An update adds material that became available after publication, including a later case disposition or changed public condition.

Material corrections receive a visible, timestamped note describing what changed. We preserve the earlier revision and accurate publication and update times rather than silently replacing the record.

• A specific factual statement that is inaccurate.
• A record, status, or case-disposition update supported by reliable documentation.
• A name, date, location, attribution, caption, or source-link concern.
• An image, copyright, privacy, or accessibility concern connected to published work.
• A request to clarify language that could materially mislead a reasonable reader.
• A general editorial complaint that should be reviewed by an authorized person.

• Save the article URL and exact headline.
• Quote or identify the precise sentence, image, caption, or detail at issue.
• State the proposed correction in neutral, factual language.
• List primary records or reliable sources that support the request.
• Note whether the issue presents an immediate safety or privacy risk.
• Keep identity documents and other sensitive files private until a secure, necessary request is made.

1. Step 1

   Receive and protect

   The secure system will issue a non-sequential reference and keep contact details and documents out of public view.

2. Step 2

   Verify

   An authorized reviewer will compare the request with the article, source record, and supporting evidence.

3. Step 3

   Decide and record

   The decision, reason, status history, reviewer, and completion time will be retained in the audit trail.

4. Step 4

   Correct every surface

   When warranted, the article, metadata, related social material, and connected coverage will be reviewed for changes.

Submitting a request will not guarantee a particular outcome, but it will never require payment or receive priority because of payment.
