Corrections Policy
Effective Date: July 6, 2026
At HCP Times, accuracy and accountability are fundamental to our journalism. Despite careful editorial review and fact-checking, errors may occasionally occur. When they do, we are committed to correcting them promptly, transparently, and responsibly.
This Corrections Policy explains how we identify, review, and correct factual inaccuracies in our published content.
Our Commitment
We strive to publish information that is accurate, verified, and presented in the proper context. If an error is discovered after publication, we will review it carefully and take appropriate action based on its significance.
Maintaining the trust of our readers is one of our highest priorities.
How We Review Reported Errors
Corrections may be initiated through:
-
Reader feedback
-
Editorial review
-
Author review
-
Official clarifications
-
Information received from organizations or individuals involved in a story
Every reported issue is reviewed by our editorial team before any correction is made.
Types of Corrections
Minor Corrections
Minor errors that do not affect the overall meaning of an article—such as spelling, grammar, formatting, or typographical mistakes—may be corrected without a formal correction notice.
Factual Corrections
If factual information is found to be incorrect, we will update the article as quickly as possible after verification. Where appropriate, a correction note may be added to explain the change.
Major Updates
For developing stories or significant new information, articles may be updated to reflect verified developments. Important updates may include a timestamp or editor's note indicating when the information was revised.
Clarifications
If an article is technically accurate but may cause misunderstanding due to wording or context, we may revise the language to improve clarity without changing the underlying facts.
Retractions
In rare circumstances where a story contains substantial inaccuracies or should not have been published, HCP Times may remove or retract the content. When appropriate, a notice explaining the reason for the retraction will be published in place of the original article.
Reader Feedback
We value feedback from our readers.
If you believe an article contains a factual error, please provide:
-
The article title or URL.
-
A description of the suspected error.
-
Supporting evidence or reliable sources, if available.
Our editorial team will review all genuine correction requests in a timely manner.
Editorial Independence
Correction decisions are made solely by the editorial team. Corrections are based on verified facts and editorial standards, not on external pressure from advertisers, sponsors, political organizations, or other third parties.
Continuous Improvement
We regularly review our editorial processes to reduce errors, strengthen fact-checking procedures, and improve the quality of our journalism.
