We log every correction. Quietly editing a mistake is its own kind of mistake.

A correction is the fix to a factual error: a wrong figure, a misstated bill number, a misattributed quote, an inaccurate description of a court ruling. We update the affected page, add a dated note at the top, and add an entry to the log below.

A clarification is a change to wording that was technically accurate but misleading. Same treatment: noted on the page, logged here.

An update is a substantive revision after a development changes the underlying facts — a bill advances, a court rules, an agency finalizes a regulation. The date of the update is noted at the top of the piece.

We do not silently edit a published piece. Typo fixes, broken-link repairs, and formatting tweaks are not logged.
