Correction policy
techshooked is committed to accuracy, but no publication is error-free. When we get something wrong, we fix it openly rather than quietly. We treat a correction as a normal part of publishing, not an embarrassment to bury, because visible corrections are part of how we earn and keep a reader's trust. Once we can confirm an error, we correct it as soon as we reasonably can.

How corrections appear
When we correct a substantive factual error, such as a figure, a date, a name, a version, or a claim, we add a dated note at the foot of the article that explains what changed. For example, a note might read: Correction (date): an earlier version of this article gave the wrong release date, which has been corrected. The note stays on the article permanently, so the correction becomes part of the public record rather than a temporary banner that disappears. We do not silently rewrite the record on a substantive point.
Corrections, clarifications, and updates
We distinguish between corrections, clarifications, and updates. A correction fixes a factual error. A clarification sharpens wording that was accurate but open to misreading. An update adds new information to a developing story. Corrections and significant clarifications are labeled on the article; routine updates to a developing story are noted as updates, so readers always have the current picture.
Significant versus minor changes
Substantive factual fixes are always noted. Minor changes that do not affect meaning, such as spelling, grammar, and formatting, are corrected without a note. If an error is serious enough to have changed the meaning of a headline or a central claim, we make the correction prominent rather than tucking it away.
How to report an error
If you spot a mistake, please tell us. Use our contact page, name the article, and point to the specific detail you believe is wrong. Including a link or the article title and date helps us find the piece and respond faster. We review every report and act promptly on errors we can substantiate. If a correction is warranted, we make it; if a detail turns out to be accurate, we will explain why. How our reporting is produced and checked is described in our Editorial standards.
