At Nation Bytes, accuracy and transparency are core to our mission. When we make a mistake, we fix it promptly and clearly. This page explains how we handle corrections, updates, clarifications, and retractions — and how you can request one.
Scope
This policy applies to all Nation Bytes content, including news articles, features, explainers, opinion pieces (where labeled), photos, videos, social posts, newsletters, and headlines.
How to Request a Correction
Send an email to corrections@nationbytes.pk with:
- URL of the article or post
- A clear description of what you believe is inaccurate
- Any supporting evidence (documents, links, images, quotes)
- Your name and how we can contact you (email and/or phone)
You may also use our contact form. For urgent legal or safety concerns, email legal@nationbytes.pk.
Our Review Process
- Intake: We acknowledge receipt within 1–2 business days (Mon–Fri, 10:00–18:00 PKT).
- Verification: Editors review the claim, consult reporters/editors involved, and check source material or additional expert sources as needed.
- Decision: We classify the outcome as a Correction, Update, Clarification, or Retraction (definitions below) and act promptly.
- Notification: We update the article and add a visible note; for material changes, we may update social posts/newsletters and notify syndication partners.
Outcomes We Use
- Correction: The story contained an error of fact. We fix the text and add a correction note.
- Update: New information became available. We add the new details and timestamp the change.
- Clarification: The story was accurate but could be misread. We improve wording and note the change.
- Retraction: The piece is withdrawn due to serious accuracy or ethical concerns; we add a retraction note.
How We Label Changes
When we materially change a published piece, we add a clearly visible note at the top or bottom of the article, for example:
Minor edits for typos/grammar/formatting that do not change meaning may be made without a note.
Headlines, Photos & Captions
When we correct a headline, photo, or caption, we apply the same labeling. We also correct alt text and metadata where relevant.
Social & Syndication
For significant corrections or clarifications, we will update posts on major social platforms and inform syndication partners where feasible.
Legal & Safety
We balance transparency with legal and safety obligations (privacy, minors, ongoing investigations). In rare cases, we may remove or limit content and document the action.
