lkounivnews (referred to as “lkounivnews,” “We,” “Us,” or “Our”) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and accountability in our reporting. This Correction Policy outlines the measures we take to address and correct any inaccuracies or errors that may appear on our website. We recognize our responsibility to our readers and strive to rectify mistakes promptly and transparently.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
At lkounivnews, we aim to provide accurate and comprehensive news reports based on the information available at the time of publication. However, in the event that an error is identified, we are committed to correcting it swiftly and informing our readers about the changes made.
For significant errors, we issue corrections, clarifications, or editor’s notes on our website and social media platforms. In cases where a major mistake could lead to the spread of misinformation, we promptly apologize to our readers and provide the correct information.
Updating a Report
When a story is updated, we include a note to inform readers of the changes. If a significant correction or addition is made, such as incorporating comments or updates from stakeholders, we clearly indicate this in the article. For fact-checking errors (conducted in accordance with our [Fact-Check Policy]), we update the content and prominently display a note at the top of the article, such as “[Correction: Updated Info…],” along with an explanation of the correction.
Types of Corrections
- Corrections:
If a substantive error is found in an article, headline, photo caption, graphic, video, or other material, we promptly publish a correction explaining the change. - Clarifications:
When our reporting is factually accurate but the language used is unclear or lacks detail, we revise the content and add a clarification. This also applies when we initially fail to seek a comment or response that is later included in the story. - Editor’s Notes:
For corrections that raise significant ethical concerns or call into question the entire substance of an article, we add an editor’s note. This note, approved by a senior editor, explains the issue and the steps taken to address it.
Other Correction Practices
- If a reader identifies an error in the comment section, our community engagement team acknowledges the correction in the comments.
- For errors on social media platforms, we correct the information or retract it if editing is not possible.
- We do not assign blame to individual reporters or editors (e.g., “due to a reporting error” or “due to an editing error”).
Reporting Inaccuracies
If you believe a story we have published is inaccurate, please notify our editorial team by using the “Suggest A Correction” section at the end of each article. Alternatively, you can email us at lkounivnews@gmail.com.
Take-Down Requests
As part of our editorial policy, we do not entertain take-down requests. If a subject claims a story is inaccurate, we investigate and, if necessary, publish a correction. However, we do not remove articles as though they were never published.
In cases where fairness requires an update or follow-up to previous coverage, we review the situation and take appropriate editorial action. We only consider takedown requests for publicly available personal data if the individual faces a threat of physical harm due to the published material.
AI-Assisted Content Modifications
We utilize AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and others) to assist with content creation and modifications. If you identify any inaccuracies, please provide the correction details, and we will update the content and images promptly. To request corrections, please email the story link to lkounivnews@gmail.com.
