The Sundaze Gazette works to get every fact right the first time. When we get something wrong, we fix it in the open. This policy is part of our Editorial Policy.
Corrections, clarifications, and updates
Correction. A published fact was wrong: a name, title, date, dollar figure, location, quote, attribution, or any other factual claim. We fix the error in the story and add a dated correction note.
Clarification. The facts were accurate, but the wording was incomplete or unclear, or a reader could reasonably have taken it the wrong way. We revise the language and add a dated clarification note.
Update. The story has moved on since we published it: a project was approved, a deadline moved, or a source responded. An update adds new information and does not mean the original was wrong. We label it with the date.
Fixes to spelling, grammar, or formatting that don't change the meaning of a sentence don't get a note.
How to report an error
Email corrections@sundazegazette.com and put "Correction" plus the article title in the subject line. Tell us the exact passage, what you believe is wrong, and how you know. A document or public record helps us verify it faster. Other ways to reach us are on our Contact page.
How fast we respond
We acknowledge correction requests within two business days. We check every request against our sourcing. When we confirm an error, we correct the story promptly. If we review a request and decide the story is accurate as published, we'll reply and explain why.
How corrections appear
Every correction, clarification, and update appears as a dated note at the bottom of the story that says what changed. For example:
Correction, September 27, 2026: An earlier version of this story gave the wrong application deadline for the grant program. The deadline is October 31.
If an error changes the meaning of the story, we also flag the correction at the top of the article so readers see it first.
No silent edits
We don't quietly change facts after publication. Every change to a factual claim gets a note. We don't delete stories to hide mistakes. If a story ever has to come down for legal or safety reasons, we will say so on the page wherever we can.
Headlines, newsletters, and social posts
If a headline, subheadline, photo caption, or summary contained an error, we correct it and the note says so. We may tighten a headline for clarity or length without a note, as long as the facts it states don't change.
Sent newsletters can't be recalled, so significant corrections to a story we emailed run in the next issue. On social platforms, we post the correction as a reply or follow-up on the same platform. If a post can't be edited and would keep spreading the error, we delete it and say that we did.
