Accuracy and accountability
Call Your Senate corrects factual errors promptly and explains material changes clearly. Our responsibility is to make the record more accurate, not to hide that a correction was necessary.
How corrections are handled
- Minor spelling, punctuation, grammar or formatting changes may be made without a note when they do not alter meaning.
- A material factual error receives a visible correction note explaining what was wrong and what was changed.
- The correction should be placed where readers can reasonably find it, generally near the top or bottom of the article.
- When a headline, chart, image caption or social post contains the error, that element should also be corrected when possible.
Correction format

Updates are different from corrections
An update adds important new information to an article that was accurate when published. It does not replace a correction when the earlier version contained an error.

Report a suspected error
Email in**@************te.com with the article link, the statement you believe is incorrect and supporting documentation or an authoritative source when available. Submitting a request does not guarantee that a correction will be made, but every specific, good-faith report will be reviewed.
