Corrections Policy

We aim for accuracy in every story. When we get something wrong, we fix it openly.

How to report an error

Email hello@bluecollarnews.com.au with:

  • The URL of the article
  • The error
  • The correction, and ideally a source we can verify against

How we correct

  • Factual errors are corrected in the article body, with a dated note at the top:

    Correction (DD Month YYYY): an earlier version of this story said X. The story has been updated to say Y.

  • Significant errors (those that materially change the meaning of the story) are corrected with a dated note and flagged on our home page for at least 24 hours.
  • Minor errors (typos, formatting, broken links) are fixed without a note.
  • Removed stories are replaced with a stub explaining why the story was removed and what we got wrong.

Modification timestamps

Every article carries a dateModified timestamp in its structured data and in its byline. If you see a “Last updated” date later than the publication date, the article has been corrected, expanded, or rewritten.

For complaints about defamation, contempt, or other legal matters, contact hello@bluecollarnews.com.au.
