At GCShorts, accuracy is at the heart of our journalism. We understand that our readers rely on us for truthful, reliable, and verified information, and we take this responsibility seriously. While we make every effort to ensure all facts are correct before publication, we recognize that errors can occur in the fast-paced world of news. This Corrections Policy explains how we address mistakes and maintain transparency with our audience.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to knowingly publishing inaccurate or misleading content. Every article undergoes a fact-checking process before it goes live, but if an error is discovered after publication — whether in a headline, date, statistic, quote, or any other detail — we act promptly to fix it.
When a factual error is corrected, we update the article as soon as possible and, where appropriate, add a correction note at the end of the story to explain what was changed and why. This ensures that our readers are aware of both the correction and the commitment behind it.
For minor adjustments such as spelling, grammar, or formatting fixes that do not affect the meaning of the content, we may update the article silently without a correction note. However, factual inaccuracies — even if small — are treated with full transparency.
If a story requires a significant update because new information emerges after its original publication, we clearly indicate that the article has been updated and provide context on what has changed. In cases where content is found to be wholly inaccurate or misleading, we may retract the article entirely, with an explanation provided on the page.
We also value our readers’ role in upholding accuracy. If you believe an article contains incorrect information, you can contact us directly at 📧 gcshorts.com@gmail.com with the story link, details of the error, and any supporting evidence. Our editorial team will review the concern promptly and take action where necessary.
Maintaining accuracy is not just about correcting mistakes — it is about preserving trust. By being transparent about errors and proactive in fixing them, we aim to uphold the credibility that our readers expect from GCShorts.
