EDITORIAL
Corrections Policy
Last updated October 11, 2026
RuntimeWire aims to correct factual errors quickly and transparently. If something we published is wrong, we want to fix it.
How to request a correction
Email [email protected] with the subject line "Correction" and include:
- The article URL.
- The specific disputed claim, quoted verbatim from the article.
- Supporting source or documentation (a link, a screenshot, a filing, a public statement, or first-hand context).
- Your name and contact information so we can follow up.
How we handle requests
- We review every correction request, typically within one business day.
- If the claim is factually incorrect, we update the article and add a dated correction note.
- If a clarification is warranted but the original claim was not strictly wrong, we add a dated clarification note.
- If we decline to correct, we'll tell you why.
- A source who tells a reporter that a published story is wrong is passed to an editor right away. Reporters do not admit errors or promise corrections themselves.
Where corrections appear
- The dated note appears at the end of the article, on every article type, and in the version of the page served to search engines and readers without JavaScript.
- Audio narration and translated versions are regenerated from the corrected text.
- Copies that went out before the fix are listed for every correction and followed up: a correction in the description and a pinned comment on videos and Shorts (or removal when the error is in the video itself), a reply to social posts, a note in the next newsletter, and a follow-up alert when the error was in a push alert.
Labels we use
- Correction — a factual error has been fixed. The note explains what changed.
- Clarification — wording has been sharpened to avoid ambiguity, without changing the underlying facts.
- Update — new information has been added after publication.
- Retraction — the story is substantially wrong and cannot be repaired with a correction. The original is replaced with a retraction notice that explains the decision.
What we do not do
We do not silently rewrite stories. We do not remove articles in response to PR pressure, embarrassment, or commercial interest. See our editorial policy for the narrow circumstances in which we will unpublish.
