Spot something we got wrong?
Tell us exactly what needs attention. A factual mistake, missing context, and new information are different issues—and each deserves a clear explanation.
Correct clearly. Explain the change.
The Salty RagIndependent Gulf Coast Journalism
Give us a precise place to start.
Include the article link, the exact statement at issue, the information you believe is accurate, and a source that helps establish it.
A broad objection is harder to assess than a specific claim. Quote the relevant sentence or identify the image and caption. Public documents, dated records, or an explanation of firsthand knowledge are useful; private records should not be pasted into this ordinary draft tool.
A factual claim inside an opinion piece still needs support. A disagreement with the author’s judgment can also be raised, but it is not automatically grounds to change the article.
Different changes deserve different labels.
Correction
A fact was wrong. State the accurate information and identify the substantive change.
Clarification
The wording or context was incomplete or ambiguous. Explain what has been made clearer.
Update
Events or the available record changed after publication. Date the new information.
Editor’s note
A larger issue with the reporting needs an explanation beyond a routine correction.

The public correction record.
No published correction entries are loaded.
