No publication gets everything right all the time. What separates trustworthy journalism from the rest is how a publication responds when it falls short. At TheMobileHunt, our corrections policy is built on a simple principle: when we make a mistake, we fix it visibly, promptly, and without spin.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy is the foundation of everything we publish. Our editorial team verifies facts, specifications, and claims before articles go live. Despite these efforts, errors occasionally occur — whether factual inaccuracies, outdated information, or errors introduced during the editing process. When they do, we take responsibility.
We do not quietly edit published articles to remove errors without disclosure. We do not delete articles to avoid accountability. We append corrections to the original article so that the public record remains intact and honest.
Types of Corrections
Factual Corrections
When a published article contains an incorrect fact — such as a wrong specification, price, release date, or misattributed quote — we correct it and append a timestamped correction note to the article explaining what was wrong and what the correct information is.
Clarifications
When a passage is technically accurate but misleading or ambiguous, we add a clarification note to the article. The original text may be updated or the clarification appended, depending on the nature of the issue.
Updates
When new information changes the context of a story — for example, a company reverses a decision, or new specs are officially confirmed — we update the article and clearly note that it has been updated, including the date of the update.
Retractions
In rare cases where an article is found to be substantially inaccurate or based on false information, we retract it. The article is replaced with a retraction notice explaining why the original content was removed. We do not simply delete articles without explanation.
How Corrections Are Displayed
Corrections, clarifications, and updates are displayed at the top or bottom of the relevant article, clearly labeled and timestamped. The label format we use is consistent:
- Correction (DD Month YYYY): Used when a factual error has been fixed.
- Clarification (DD Month YYYY): Used when additional context has been added to prevent misreading.
- Update (DD Month YYYY): Used when new developments have changed the story.
- Retraction (DD Month YYYY): Used when an article has been substantially withdrawn.
We do not alter the original text of an article without disclosure. If a correction changes a key part of the content, we note both the original claim and the corrected version where appropriate.
How to Report an Error
If you believe an article on TheMobileHunt contains a factual error, outdated information, or a misrepresentation, we encourage you to bring it to our attention. Reader-reported corrections are one of our most valuable quality control mechanisms, and we take every report seriously.
To report an error, please email us at contact@themobilehunt.com with the subject line “Correction Request.” Please include:
- The URL of the article in question
- The specific claim or passage you believe is inaccurate
- What you believe the correct information to be, and if possible, a source to support it
We aim to review correction requests within 48 hours. If your report leads to a correction, we will notify you by reply.
Corrections We Will Not Make
Our corrections process is reserved for genuine factual errors and material inaccuracies. We do not issue corrections in the following circumstances:
- Requests to change editorial opinions, review conclusions, or assessments we stand behind
- Requests from manufacturers, brands, or PR representatives unhappy with a review score or editorial angle
- Retroactive changes to articles based on a product being updated after the review was published (these are handled as “Updates”)
- Requests to remove accurate reporting that reflects poorly on a company or individual
We appreciate readers who hold us accountable. If something doesn’t look right, reach out — we genuinely want to know.
