Corrections Policy

Effective Date: July 4, 2026

Our Commitment to Accuracy

Patriots Perspective, a division of Discern Media Group, is committed to publishing journalism that is accurate, fair, transparent, and accountable.

Even with careful reporting and editorial review, mistakes may occur. When they do, we believe they should be addressed promptly, transparently, and proportionately.

This policy explains how we review and respond to reports of factual errors while preserving the integrity and historical accuracy of our published work.

Guiding Principles

Our corrections process is guided by the following principles:

1. Accuracy

2. Transparency

3. Accountability

4. Fairness

5. Consistency

6. Editorial independence

Corrections are intended to improve the factual accuracy of our reporting—not to suppress lawful reporting or alter the historical record.

What Qualifies for Review

We welcome requests to review potential factual inaccuracies, including but not limited to:

1. Incorrect names

2. Incorrect dates

3. Incorrect locations

4. Misidentified individuals

5. Errors in quotations

6. Errors regarding public records

7. Incorrect descriptions of court proceedings

8. Incorrect references to legislation

9. Mathematical or statistical errors

10. Incorrect attribution of statements

11. Mischaracterization of publicly available documents

Requests that simply disagree with an editorial opinion, interpretation, analysis, or viewpoint generally do not warrant a correction unless they identify a verifiable factual error.

What Is Not Generally Considered a Correction

The following ordinarily do not require formal correction:

1. Differences of opinion

2. Political disagreement

3. Editorial viewpoints

4. Commentary

5. Predictions that later prove inaccurate

6. New information that was unavailable at the time of publication

7. Changes in circumstances occurring after publication

8. Typographical errors that do not materially affect meaning

Patriots Perspective retains discretion in determining whether an update or correction is appropriate.

Correction Review Process

Each correction request is reviewed independently by the editorial team.

When evaluating a request, we may consider:

1. Original reporting materials

2. Published sources

3. Public records

4. Court filings

5. Audio or video recordings

6. Documentary evidence

7. Statements from the reporter

8. Information submitted by the requesting party

9. Additional reporting conducted after publication

Submitting a correction request does not guarantee that a correction will be issued.

Types of Editorial Updates

Depending on the circumstances, Patriots Perspective may use one or more of the following approaches.

Correction

A correction is issued when a material factual error has been confirmed.

Corrections should clearly identify the corrected information without obscuring the original reporting history.

Clarification

A clarification may be issued when published language could reasonably be misunderstood or when additional context improves reader understanding without changing the underlying facts.

Update

Articles may be updated when:

1. New facts become available.

2. Official statements are released.

3. Court proceedings continue.

4. Government agencies publish additional information.

5. Investigations develop.

Updates are a normal part of responsible journalism and do not necessarily indicate that prior reporting was inaccurate.

Editor’s Note

An Editor’s Note may be added to explain:

1. Significant revisions

2. Ongoing developments

3. Important contextual information

4. Reporting methodology

5. Subsequent legal or factual developments

Editor’s Notes provide transparency while preserving the historical integrity of published reporting.

Retraction

Retractions are reserved for exceptional circumstances, including situations where published reporting contains material inaccuracies that cannot reasonably be corrected through updates or clarifications.

Retractions are uncommon and are considered only after careful editorial review.

Developing Stories

News often develops after publication.

As investigations progress or additional information becomes available, Patriots Perspective may revise articles to include:

1. Newly confirmed facts

2. Official statements

3. Court rulings

4. Government reports

5. Additional interviews

6. Documentary evidence

Readers should understand that updates are a routine feature of responsible journalism.

Historical Record

Patriots Perspective generally does not erase previously published reporting simply because circumstances later change.

Instead, when appropriate, we may:

1. Update articles

2. Add Editor’s Notes

3. Add correction notices

4. Publish follow-up reporting

5. Link to subsequent developments

Maintaining an accurate historical record promotes transparency and public understanding.

Reader Correction Requests

Readers who believe an article contains a material factual error are encouraged to submit:

1. The article URL

2. The headline

3. The specific statement believed to be incorrect

4. A detailed explanation

5. Supporting documentation or publicly available sources, if available

Requests should focus on factual accuracy rather than disagreement with editorial viewpoints.

Legal Correspondence

Patriots Perspective distinguishes between:

1. Correction requests

2. Requests for comment

3. Legal correspondence

4. Demands for retraction

5. Litigation-related communications

The receipt of legal correspondence does not automatically result in modification or removal of published content.

Legal matters are reviewed independently and in accordance with applicable law and our editorial standards.

Opinion Content

Opinion, commentary, editorials, and analysis are protected forms of expression and are intended to communicate viewpoints.

Corrections to opinion pieces are generally limited to verifiable factual assertions rather than the author’s opinions or conclusions.

Third-Party Content

Corrections involving guest contributors, interviews, or externally supplied materials are reviewed under the same editorial standards.

Where appropriate, Patriots Perspective may contact the original contributor before making significant revisions.

Artificial Intelligence

Where artificial intelligence tools assist with editorial workflows, all factual verification remains the responsibility of human editors.

AI-generated content does not bypass our corrections process.

Transparency

Whenever reasonably practicable, significant corrections will be identified in a manner that informs readers that changes have been made.

Transparency strengthens confidence in responsible journalism.

Editorial Discretion

Patriots Perspective retains sole editorial discretion regarding:

1. Whether a correction is warranted

2. The form of any correction

3. Placement of correction notices

4. Timing of updates

5. Publication of follow-up reporting

6. Whether an Editor’s Note or clarification is more appropriate than a correction

Our objective is to improve factual accuracy while preserving editorial integrity.
