Correction Policy

Last Updated: February 17, 2026

At Bolton Today, we take the accuracy and reliability of our reporting very seriously. While we strive to ensure every story is thoroughly checked and factual, mistakes can occasionally occur. This Correction Policy explains how we address errors and maintain transparency with our readers.

Commitment to Accuracy

Bolton Today is committed to publishing news that is both accurate and fair. When errors are identified, we correct them promptly and clearly, preserving the trust of our audience. Our editorial team reviews reported mistakes carefully and ensures that corrections reflect verified information.

How We Correct Mistakes

If an error is discovered, the editorial team first verifies the correct information from reliable sources. Once confirmed, a correction notice is added to the article or a designated corrections section, clearly stating the nature of the error and the date it was amended. For example:

Correction (February 18, 2026): An earlier version of this article misstated the date of the council meeting. The correct date is February 17, 2026.

This approach ensures that readers are aware of the change without altering the overall context of the original reporting.

Reporting an Error

Readers who notice inaccuracies are encouraged to contact the editorial team directly. Providing the article link and a description of the issue helps us investigate and resolve the matter efficiently. Corrections are applied to all types of content, including written articles, images, and multimedia features, regardless of whether the material was produced with AI assistance or entirely by a journalist.

Editorial Responsibility

Our editorial team is responsible for monitoring published content, addressing errors, and maintaining a transparent record of corrections. We believe that acknowledging mistakes openly strengthens the credibility of our reporting and reinforces our commitment to the Bolton community.
