Corrections policy

History deserves to be got right. If we got it wrong, we say so.

Report a mistake

Write to us at support@erstwhilecourier.com with the year of the issue, the page (such as A3), the headline, what is wrong and, if you have one, a source that shows it.

What happens next

• We check the claim against the story's cited sources and any source you send.
• If the paper is wrong, we correct the web edition and the PDFs, and add a dated note of the correction to that year's sources page.
• Papers printed after the correction carry the corrected text.
• We write back to tell you what we found, whether or not we change the paper.

How every story is checked before it prints: editorial standards.
