Corrections
When we make mistakes, we will correct them quickly and prominently. In most cases, we will append an editor’s note to the bottom of stories indicating what changes were made to correct the initial version of the story. If the error materially affects the premise of the story or has a major impact on it, we will consider issuing more prominent corrections. Anytime an InvestigateWest staffer is informed of a potential error, they are required to report it to their editor.
If a story is factually correct but includes unclear or potentially misleading language, we will issue a clarification, adding relevant context or eliminating confusion.
We encourage you to contact us at editors@investigatewest.org if you believe we have made an error.
