Accuracy is the whole job. The Dallas Dispatch is committed to correcting errors promptly and transparently, so that a reader who saw the original version always knows what changed.
1. How to report an error
If you believe an article contains a factual error, please tell us through our contact page. To help us act quickly, include three things: the link to the article, the specific sentence or figure you think is wrong, and, if you have one, a source for the correct information. A primary source, such as the agency page, the filing, or the official release, gets us there fastest.
2. How we handle a correction
When we correct a factual error that could have changed what a reader understood, we do not quietly edit the text. We fix the article and add a dated correction note explaining what was wrong and what is now correct, so the change is visible to anyone who saw the first version. Significant corrections are reviewed with our editorial team.
3. What we fix without a notice
Typos, a broken link, a mislabeled photo, or a formatting glitch that does not change the meaning are simply fixed without a formal notice. The dated correction note is reserved for anything that could have changed what a reader understood or did.
4. Our commitment
We check every flag against the original source. If you are right, we correct the piece, usually the same business day we confirm it, and post the note. If we conclude the article is right, we will respond and show you the source we relied on. Either way, you will hear back from a person.
Corrections log
We have not issued any published corrections to date. When we do, they will be listed here and noted on the affected article.
