Corrections / SN-CR-01
Corrections policy
A real-time wire will sometimes be wrong before it is right. What matters is that errors are fixed fast, visibly and never erased.
Three rules
- Correct fast: a factual error on a live wire is corrected as soon as it is identified.
- Correct visibly: material corrections are labeled and timestamped.
- Keep the audit trail: we do not silently rewrite history to hide a mistake.
What gets which treatment
| Type | Policy |
|---|---|
| Correction | A factual error that could change a reader decision or market interpretation. |
| Clarification | The original item was not false, but could be clearer. |
| Update | New information was added after the original headline. |
| Retraction | A material item was fundamentally unsupported or wrong. |
What a correction looks like
Correction notes are appended to the item, dated and specific about what was wrong.
Report an error
If you believe anything published by SquawkNews is factually wrong, write to corrections@squawknews.com with a link or timestamp of the item and the source supporting the correction.
Substantiated errors are corrected promptly; we aim to act within 24 hours, and much faster for items still active on the live wire.
Scope
This policy covers all SquawkNews output: the live wire, market briefs, audio squawk text, macro dashboards and archive pages. Errors introduced by automated processing are treated like any other factual error. See our AI disclosure.
