Corrections
Accountability is part of independent journalism.
Pamphlets welcomes evidence-based requests to correct factual errors, misleading descriptions, inaccurate quotations, dates, attribution and photograph information. Our socialist and anti-imperialist perspective does not exempt factual claims from scrutiny.
How to request a correction
Use an official channel on the Contact page. Include the article’s full URL, the specific passage or image, what you believe is incorrect, and a verifiable source supporting the proposed change. Identify a translation or date issue precisely. For a rights concern, include the original image source and your relationship to the rights holder.
Do not post confidential documents, sensitive personal details or private contact information publicly. Public social platforms are not a confidential tip service. A private option should be used only when the platform makes one available.
Review and changes
Correction requests should be assessed against original records and other relevant evidence. Where a material fact is wrong, the affected original article should be corrected and carry a dated note explaining the substance of the change. The original URL and publication date should be preserved. If a disputed claim cannot be substantiated, it should be qualified or removed; a source must never be invented.
Minor spelling, punctuation, broken-link and formatting repairs do not normally require a correction note. New developments should be labeled as updates rather than presented as if they were known at the original publication date. A changed headline should be recorded when it materially alters the article’s meaning.
Bylines and historical provenance
Historical collective pen names are being replaced by Pamphlets editorial-desk bylines. This is a transparency change, not a claim that a new individual reported the original story. The editorial migration record preserves original attribution. Genuine individual contributors retain their names and credit.
A reader’s disagreement with an argument is distinct from a factual error. Analysis and opinion remain subject to the same requirements for accurate quotations, evidence and fair attribution described in our Editorial Standards.
