Corrections Policy

Last reviewed 2026-07-21.

The Dallas corrects errors quickly, openly, and on the record.

How to request a correction

Email editor@nexcom.media with:

1. The article URL (https://www.thedallas.org/news/...)
2. The specific sentence, statistic, or detail you believe is wrong
3. The correct information and a source for it (link, document, contact)
4. Your name and contact information (optional but speeds review)

How we evaluate

• We acknowledge receipt of correction requests promptly.
• We verify the claim against original sources, primary documents, and independent confirmation.
• We publish a correction or clarification within 24 hours of confirmation.
• If we cannot confirm the error after good-faith investigation, we email you with our findings.

What a correction looks like

When we correct an article, we:

• Edit the affected text in the article body
• Add a Correction notice at the bottom of the article with the date, what was wrong, and what is now correct
• Update dateModified in the article's JSON-LD
• Add an entry to our public correction log (link below)
• Notify Google + Bing via IndexNow that the article was modified

Policy revision (2026-07-20): when a mass provenance review affects many archival items at once, the public log records the action as a publication-level entry with aggregate counts, and each affected URL returns an explanatory notice at its original address.

Categories of changes

Correction

A material factual error has been fixed. Always labeled.

Clarification

The original text was technically accurate but could be misleading. Edited for clarity.

Update

New information has emerged since publication. Added with a timestamp.

Editor's note

Context about reporting decisions, conflicts of interest, or sourcing.

Removal & retraction

We do not remove published articles except in narrow circumstances:

• Court order
• Substantial legal risk (defamation that cannot be cured by correction)
• Victim privacy harm (e.g., naming a sexual assault victim without consent)
• Article was wholly fabricated or plagiarized

Removed articles are replaced with a public retraction notice at the same URL explaining why.

Correction log

Corrections are logged at /corrections (when populated) with article URL, date, original text, and corrected text. The log is publicly accessible and indexed.
