Our Commitment to Getting Live News Right
News Broadcaster Live publishes live and developing U.S. news — “Live news, as it happens, around the clock.” Speed is essential to that mission, but accuracy is non-negotiable. In fast-moving coverage, early official information can change, figures are revised, and initial characterizations are refined as reporters confirm additional facts. This Corrections policy explains how News Broadcaster Live, published by 24World Media, identifies, evaluates, and remedies errors, how readers can help us correct the record, and how corrections are displayed. It applies to all editorial content on newsbroadcasterlive.com, including live-update threads, explainers, and follow-up reporting.
What Counts as a Correction
A correction addresses a factual error: a misspelled name, wrong date or time, incorrect statistic, misattributed quote, mistaken location, or a material mischaracterization of events or a person’s position. Distinguishing corrections from updates is important in live news. An update adds new, confirmed information to a developing story and does not imply the earlier report was wrong; a correction fixes information that was inaccurate at the time of publication. Clarifications — where the original text was factually correct but unclear or incomplete in a way that could mislead — are handled with the same transparency as corrections. Opinion, framing, or disagreement with editorial judgment is addressed through reader feedback, not the corrections process, unless a factual basis is shown to be wrong.
How to Request a Correction
Readers who spot a potential error should contact us promptly through our Contact page. To help our editors act quickly, include the article headline and URL, quote the exact sentence or figure believed to be wrong, explain what the correct information is, and, where possible, provide a supporting source such as an official record, document, or on-record statement. Anonymous correction tips are reviewed, but requests with verifiable sourcing are resolved fastest. During an unfolding emergency or major breaking event, urgent safety-related corrections — for example, a wrong evacuation area or road closure — should be flagged as urgent in the message subject so the live desk prioritizes them.
Our Review Process
Every substantive correction request is reviewed by an editor who was not the original approving editor where staffing permits. We re-check primary sources, re-contact quoted parties when necessary, and compare the published text against notes, documents, and recordings. Three outcomes are possible: if the claim is confirmed wrong, we correct it; if the original is confirmed right, we may add supporting context and will inform the requester of our finding when contact details were provided; if the matter remains genuinely uncertain in a developing story, we revise the text to reflect that uncertainty explicitly rather than asserting a contested fact. We do not silently alter material facts — significant changes are always acknowledged in the article.
How Corrections Appear
Confirmed errors are fixed directly in the article text, and a correction note is appended or inserted at the relevant point stating what was corrected, what the accurate information is, and the date of the correction. For live-update threads, the erroneous update is corrected in place and the correction is also referenced in the newest update so returning readers encounter it. Minor typographical or formatting fixes that do not affect meaning (for example, a doubled word) may be made without a formal note. Headline or social-distribution errors are corrected at the source and, where the platform permits, noted. We do not delete published articles to hide errors; removal occurs only in exceptional circumstances such as legal requirement or serious harm, and is itself noted.
Timeliness and Accountability
Live coverage demands live accountability. Our goal is to evaluate urgent correction requests during a developing event in real time, and to resolve routine requests within one business day of receipt. Complex cases involving document review or multiple sources may take longer, but the published text is flagged or qualified if a material doubt emerges during review. Correction patterns are logged and reviewed periodically by senior editors to identify recurring weaknesses in sourcing, training, or workflow. News Broadcaster Live is published by 24World Media, 1411 N Sterling Ave, Palatine, IL 60067, United States. We thank readers who take the time to help us keep live news accurate — that partnership is essential to trustworthy, around-the-clock reporting.
