At The Dubai Herald, we are committed to publishing accurate, fair, and reliable journalism. Despite our editorial review process, mistakes may occasionally occur. When they do, we believe they should be corrected promptly and transparently.
This Corrections Policy explains how we review reported errors and update published content.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy is a core principle of our editorial process.
Every article published by The Dubai Herald is reviewed before publication. However, news develops quickly, and new information may become available after an article is published.
When factual inaccuracies are identified, we take appropriate action to review and correct them.
Reporting an Error
Readers, organizations, and sources are encouraged to notify us if they believe an article contains:
- Incorrect factual information
- Misleading statements
- Misspelled names
- Incorrect dates or figures
- Outdated information
- Broken links
- Attribution errors
- Other editorial concerns
To report an issue, please email:
Email: editorial@thedubaiherald.com
When contacting us, please include:
- The article title or URL
- A description of the issue
- Supporting information or evidence (if available)
- Your contact details (optional)
Our Review Process
Every correction request is reviewed by our editorial team.
During the review, we may:
- Verify the reported information using reliable sources.
- Contact relevant parties for clarification.
- Review supporting documents or evidence.
- Consult the original author or editor.
Our goal is to resolve correction requests as quickly and accurately as possible.
Types of Updates
Depending on the situation, we may take one or more of the following actions:
Minor Corrections
Minor errors that do not affect the overall meaning of an article—such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, or formatting—may be corrected without a formal correction notice.
Factual Corrections
If factual information is found to be incorrect, we will update the article with the correct information. Where appropriate, we may include an editor’s note explaining the correction.
Article Updates
News stories often develop over time. Articles may be updated to include new verified information, additional context, or official statements. These updates are not necessarily corrections but are part of maintaining accurate and current reporting.
Article Removal
In exceptional circumstances, such as legal requirements or significant editorial concerns, we may remove or substantially revise content after careful review.
Press Releases and Sponsored Content
Press releases and sponsored content are provided by third parties.
If factual errors are identified in these publications, we may:
- Request clarification from the submitting organization.
- Update the published content when appropriate.
- Add an editorial note where necessary.
- Remove content if it violates our editorial standards or legal obligations.
Transparency
When a significant factual correction is made, we aim to be transparent by including an editor’s note or correction notice explaining what has changed.
Minor editorial improvements that do not affect the meaning of an article may be made without a public notice.
Response Time
We review correction requests as promptly as possible. While response times may vary depending on the complexity of the issue, we aim to acknowledge and assess all legitimate requests within a reasonable timeframe.
