When we get the original incident wrong, we correct it; when a later real-world development is verified, we add a dated Update. Accuracy is not negotiable and corrections are not buried.
How we handle errors
When a factual error is confirmed, we correct it promptly. Corrections are not silently overwritten — the updated story carries a dated correction note so readers understand what changed and when.
Substantive corrections (wrong date, wrong charge, wrong outcome) are labeled with the date corrected and a brief description of what changed.
Minor editorial fixes (typos, formatting) may be corrected without a formal note at editorial discretion.
We do not scrub or rewrite a story's history to conceal an earlier error — the record of what changed stays visible.
How to request a correction or removal
If you believe a published story contains a factual error, or if you are a subject of a story and have documentation that changes the public record, contact us at corrections@aftertheclip.com.
Include the URL of the story page and the specific statement you believe is wrong or outdated.
Attach or link to the source material — a court filing, official statement, or published record — that supports the correction.
Requests are reviewed against the public record. Corrections that improve the source trail are made promptly; requests that are not supported by documentation are held until documentation is provided.
We do not accept payment to remove or alter accurate public-record reporting.
Corrections and later developments
Many AfterTheClip stories cover matters that are still moving through courts, investigations, or public proceedings. We treat those stories as living documents.
Evidence about the original incident is added as a source or correction without being presented as a later Update.
Charges, verdicts, pleas, dismissals, and other verified later developments are added with their event date and current status.
A later development does not silently rewrite the verified account of the original incident.
If you have documentation of a case development that is not yet reflected on a story page, send it to corrections@aftertheclip.com.
