New information may emerge after an article is published and, despite the care we put into our work, an error or inaccuracy can sometimes slip through.<\/p>\n<p>When that happens, we believe it is our responsibility to review the facts, acknowledge confirmed errors and make the necessary corrections.<\/p>\n<p>This policy explains how Hebdo24 handles changes, updates, clarifications and correction requests for content published on <strong>Hebdo24.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<nav class=\"cp-toc\"><strong>Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#cp-1\">Our commitment to accuracy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cp-2\">Changes and updates to articles<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cp-3\">How do we correct errors?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cp-4\">Transparency about changes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cp-5\">Correction requests and right of reply<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cp-6\">Removal of content<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cp-7\">How to request a correction<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cp-8\">The same standards in all four languages<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cp-9\">Review of this policy<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/nav>\n<section id=\"cp-1\">\n<h2><span>01<\/span>Our commitment to accuracy<\/h2>\n<p>Our readers\u2019 trust rests above all on the quality and reliability of the information we publish.<\/p>\n<p>Before an article is published, our newsroom works to verify its key elements by consulting reliable sources, official documents, testimonies and any other information that can confirm the facts.<\/p>\n<p>We pay particular attention to names, dates, figures, statements and information that could affect the people or institutions involved.<\/p>\n<p>When a doubt arises or a possible error is reported to us, we review the available evidence to decide whether a correction, clarification or update is needed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"cp-quote\"><p>Our goal is to publish news that is not only fast, but also accurate, understandable and useful to the public.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cp-2\">\n<h2><span>02<\/span>Changes and updates to articles<\/h2>\n<p>The news does not stop when an article is published. A situation can evolve, new statements can be made and additional information can complete the facts first reported.<\/p>\n<p>That is why content published on Hebdo24 may be changed when circumstances warrant it.<\/p>\n<p>We distinguish four types of changes:<\/p>\n<div class=\"cp-cards\">\n<div class=\"cp-card\"><span class=\"cp-ic\">\u2713<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Corrections<\/h3>\n<p>They fix factual errors, in particular names, dates, figures, titles, quotes, statements or important information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cp-card\"><span class=\"cp-ic\">\u21bb<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Updates<\/h3>\n<p>They add new facts, reactions, statements or developments that occurred after the original publication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cp-card\"><span class=\"cp-ic\">i<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Clarifications<\/h3>\n<p>They provide additional explanation or detail when information could be confusing or misinterpreted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cp-card\"><span class=\"cp-ic\">Aa<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Minor edits<\/h3>\n<p>They cover spelling, grammar, punctuation or formatting mistakes that do not change the meaning of the article.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"cp-note\">An update does not necessarily mean the original article contained an error. It may simply help readers follow how a story develops.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cp-3\">\n<h2><span>03<\/span>How do we correct errors?<\/h2>\n<p>When a factual error is identified and confirmed, our newsroom works to correct it as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>How we proceed depends on the nature of the error, its importance and its possible impact on how the information is understood.<\/p>\n<p>When a correction concerns a key element of the article, an explanatory note is added to inform readers of the change.<\/p>\n<p>This note may state the nature of the error, the corrected information and the date of the correction.<\/p>\n<p>Minor edits that do not change the meaning of the information, however, may be made without a specific note.<\/p>\n<p>We believe errors should be corrected transparently, without hiding previously published information when it helps readers understand the correction.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cp-4\">\n<h2><span>04<\/span>Transparency about changes<\/h2>\n<p>For Hebdo24, transparency is not only about acknowledging an error. It also means explaining to readers any significant changes made to a story.<\/p>\n<p>We therefore distinguish between a correction, an update and a clarification.<\/p>\n<p>When an article is substantially changed, we make every effort to show the nature of the change clearly and visibly.<\/p>\n<p>Changes to content must never be used to distort the facts, misleadingly alter the meaning of information or hide a significant error.<\/p>\n<p>Our aim is to let readers follow how information evolves while keeping their trust in our work.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cp-5\">\n<h2><span>05<\/span>Correction requests and right of reply<\/h2>\n<p>Any person, institution or organization that believes an article published on Hebdo24 contains inaccurate information or needs clarification may ask our newsroom to review it.<\/p>\n<p>We take these requests seriously, especially when they concern facts that could affect the reputation, rights or legitimate interests of the people involved.<\/p>\n<p>Each request is reviewed on the basis of the available information, the documents provided and the facts that can be verified.<\/p>\n<p>When the facts warrant it, Hebdo24 may correct information, publish a clarification or consider a right-of-reply request in accordance with applicable law.<\/p>\n<p>However, a correction request does not automatically lead to an article being changed or removed.<\/p>\n<p>Decisions are made taking into account factual accuracy, the public interest and our editorial responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cp-6\">\n<h2><span>06<\/span>Removal of content<\/h2>\n<p>Articles published by Hebdo24 help document events and keep a record of the news.<\/p>\n<p>We therefore believe that removing journalistic content should remain exceptional.<\/p>\n<p>When we receive a removal request, we consider several factors:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp-list\">\n<li>The accuracy of the published information.<\/li>\n<li>The public interest of the article.<\/li>\n<li>The rights and circumstances of the people concerned.<\/li>\n<li>The possible consequences of keeping the content online.<\/li>\n<li>Applicable legal obligations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Wherever possible, we prefer to correct, clarify or update an article rather than remove it.<\/p>\n<p>Content may nevertheless be removed when special circumstances or legal obligations justify it, after an appropriate review.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cp-7\">\n<h2><span>07<\/span>How to request a correction<\/h2>\n<p>Our readers\u2019 feedback matters.
