Rising News is committed to publishing accurate, fair and reliable information. We review and edit material before publication, but if we make a factual error, we want to know about it and will consider appropriate corrections promptly.
Our editorial process includes checking names, job titles, dates and other key facts before publication.
How to request a correction
If you believe an article published by Rising News contains a factual error, please email: editor@risingnews.co.uk
Please include:
- the title or URL of the article
- the information you believe is incorrect
- what you believe the correct information should be
- and any relevant evidence or supporting information that can help us assess the request.
Providing clear supporting information will help us review the matter efficiently.
How we review correction requests
Correction requests are reviewed editorially.
We may check the original submission, supporting material, public records or other relevant sources and may contact the person or organisation that supplied the information where clarification is needed.
A request for a change does not automatically mean that an article will be amended.
Rising News retains final editorial control over published material, including paid submissions. Payment does not give a contributor control over wording, headlines or editorial decisions.
Material factual errors
Where we establish that a published article contains a significant factual error, we will correct the article.
Where appropriate, we will also add a correction or update note explaining what has changed.
The level of explanation will depend on the nature and significance of the error.
Minor amendments
Minor changes that do not materially alter the meaning of an article — such as spelling, punctuation, formatting or obvious typographical errors — may be corrected without adding a formal correction notice.
Updates and additional information
Sometimes an article may be accurate when published but later require additional information because circumstances have changed.
Where appropriate, we may update the article and make clear that new information has been added.
An update is different from a correction: a correction addresses information that was inaccurate when published, while an update reflects subsequent developments or additional relevant information.
Headlines and presentation
If an article is factually accurate but its headline, introduction or presentation could create a materially misleading impression, we may amend it following editorial review.
Rising News retains the right to edit headlines, introductions and promotional wording as part of its normal editorial process.
Removal requests
Publishing a correction will usually be preferable to removing an article entirely.
Requests for removal will be considered individually where there is a legitimate reason to do so, but Rising News does not undertake to remove accurate published material simply because a person or organisation would prefer it no longer appeared.
Paid submissions
The same corrections standards apply to paid submissions as to other Rising News content.
Payment is for access to our editorial review and publication process. It does not prevent Rising News from correcting, updating or editing an article where necessary, and customers do not control final editorial decisions.
Our aim
We want Rising News to maintain a trustworthy and useful record of people, appointments, founders, teams and career moves.
Corrections are part of maintaining that record. Where we identify a substantive error, our priority is to correct the published information clearly and accurately.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
