Corrections Policy
Accuracy is fundamental to the trust between The Founders Magazine and its readers. When we make a material error, we aim to correct it clearly, promptly and transparently.
The Founders Magazine is committed to publishing accurate, fair and trustworthy journalism. Editorial errors are taken seriously. Our corrections process is designed to preserve the integrity of the original record while ensuring readers can clearly understand what was wrong, what changed and, when appropriate, why the change was made.
Our commitment to accuracy
The Founders Magazine seeks to verify material facts before publication and to distinguish factual reporting from analysis, commentary and forward-looking interpretation.
Despite rigorous editorial standards, mistakes can occur. When we determine that published journalism contains a material factual error, we aim to correct the record without unnecessary delay.
Corrections are not intended to conceal an error. Where appropriate, a correction notice will explain the substance of the change so the reader can understand how the published record was amended.
What we correct
A correction may be warranted when an article contains an inaccurate statement that could materially affect a reader’s understanding of the subject.
- Incorrect names, titles, positions or organizational affiliations.
- Materially incorrect financial figures, valuations, percentages, dates or transaction values.
- Incorrect descriptions of events, companies, people, products, markets or regulatory actions.
- Misattributed quotations or statements.
- Material errors introduced through editing, production, formatting or publication.
- Headlines, captions, charts or graphics that materially misrepresent the underlying reporting.
Used when published factual information is materially inaccurate and requires a substantive amendment.
Used when the underlying reporting may be accurate but wording could reasonably create an incomplete or misleading impression.
Used when significant new information is added after an article was originally published.
Typographical, grammatical or stylistic changes that do not materially alter the meaning may be corrected without a formal correction notice.
How corrections are handled
When a potential error is identified, the editorial team reviews the published material, available source documentation and, where necessary, additional evidence or responses from relevant parties.
Material factual errors
When a material factual error is confirmed, the article will normally be amended and a correction notice added. The notice should identify the substance of the error and state what has been corrected.
Headlines and visual material
Corrections may also apply to headlines, photographs, captions, charts, illustrations, data visualizations and other presentation elements when they contain or create a material factual error.
Publication record
We generally prefer correcting an article rather than silently deleting it. Removing published journalism is reserved for unusual circumstances where continued publication would create significant legal, ethical or factual problems that cannot reasonably be resolved through correction or clarification.
Updates, clarifications and evolving stories
Business, markets, technology and corporate events can develop rapidly. An article may therefore be updated after publication as additional confirmed information becomes available.
An update does not necessarily mean the original article was incorrect. It may reflect new information, additional reporting, subsequent company statements, regulatory filings or later developments.
When an article’s substance changes significantly, we may include an update note or amend its displayed publication information where appropriate.
How to request a correction
Readers, sources, companies and other affected parties are encouraged to contact The Founders Magazine when they believe published journalism contains a factual error.
A useful correction request should identify the specific article and disputed statement, explain why the information is believed to be inaccurate and, whenever possible, provide documentary or other verifiable evidence supporting the requested correction.
Requests are reviewed editorially. The submission of a correction request does not itself establish that the published material is inaccurate or guarantee that a change will be made.
- Include the URL of the relevant article.
- Identify the exact statement, figure or passage at issue.
- Explain the requested correction clearly.
- Provide reliable supporting evidence where available.
- Include appropriate contact information if editorial follow-up may be necessary.
Transparency and editorial judgment
Correction decisions are made according to editorial standards, available evidence and the material significance of the disputed information.
The Founders Magazine does not remove accurate reporting simply because a subject disagrees with it, considers it unfavorable or would prefer that information no longer appear publicly.
Likewise, legitimate differences of interpretation, analysis or opinion are not automatically factual errors. Where analysis is published, we aim to make the distinction between established facts, reported information and analytical judgment clear to readers.
Our objective is straightforward: when the record is materially wrong, correct it; when additional context is needed, clarify it; and when a story develops, update readers transparently.

Social media and distributed content
The same commitment to accuracy applies to material published or distributed through The Founders Magazine’s official social, newsletter and other digital channels.
When materially inaccurate distributed content can be corrected on the platform where it appeared, we may edit, replace or clarify it. When editing is unavailable or would fail to adequately correct the record, a subsequent corrective post or notice may be published.
