Accountability & Accuracy

Corrections Policy

When we get something wrong, we fix it. Every error is corrected promptly, transparently, and logged for public accountability.

Our Commitment

Horizon Reports is committed to accuracy in all our AI-generated journalism. When errors occur — and they will — we correct them quickly, transparently, and with full accountability.

We believe corrections are not a failure — they are proof of accountability.

While our AI pipeline includes multiple quality gates to catch errors before publication, no system is perfect. When readers identify inaccuracies, we investigate, verify, and correct them according to the standards outlined on this page.

Types of Corrections

We classify corrections into three categories based on severity and impact.

Minor Corrections

Examples:

•Typos and grammatical errors
•Formatting inconsistencies
•Minor factual clarifications

How we handle it:

Fixed silently without notation. No formal correction notice required.

Significant Corrections

Examples:

•Factual errors in key details
•Misattributed quotes or sources
•Incorrect dates, names, or locations

How we handle it:

Corrected with editor's note at top of article. Logged in corrections record.

Retractions

Examples:

•Fundamental accuracy failures
•Unverifiable core claims
•Misleading or fabricated information

How we handle it:

Article removed or fully rewritten. Public retraction notice published.
