The Voice of Kannadiga is committed to accuracy. When we get something wrong, we want to fix it quickly and openly. ತಪ್ಪುಗಳನ್ನು ಶೀಘ್ರವಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತು ಪಾರದರ್ಶಕವಾಗಿ ಸರಿಪಡಿಸುವುದು ನಮ್ಮ ಬದ್ಧತೆ.
How to report an error
Email editorial@thevoiceofkannadiga.com with the subject line “Correction”. Please include the article link, the statement you believe is wrong, and any evidence or source that supports the correction.
How we handle corrections
- Every request is reviewed by the editorial team. We aim to respond within 2–3 business days.
- If a factual error is confirmed, we correct the article and add a note at the end explaining what was changed and when.
- Minor changes that do not affect the meaning (spelling, grammar, formatting) may be made without a note.
- If a significant part of an article cannot be supported, we will update, clarify or, in rare cases, remove it and explain why.
- Where a person or organisation named in an article disputes it, we will consider adding their response.
What this policy does not cover
Disagreement with an opinion or analysis is not in itself an error. We welcome such feedback, but we correct facts, not opinions.
See also our Editorial Policy.
Types of correction we issue
- Correction — a factual error has been published. The article is amended and a dated note is added explaining what was wrong and what it now says.
- Clarification — the facts were accurate but the wording could reasonably be misread. The wording is sharpened and a note is added.
- Update — the article was accurate when published but events have moved on. New information is added with the date it was added.
- Retraction — the central claim of an article cannot be supported. The article is withdrawn and replaced with an explanation of why.
Our record of corrections
Correction notes stay on the article permanently. We do not quietly delete or rewrite an article to make an error disappear, and we do not remove a correction note once it has been published. Where an error has appeared in a video or on a social media account, we also post the correction there.
Right of reply
Any person or organisation named in a critical article may send us a response. Where the response is relevant and can be verified, we will either add it to the article or publish it separately, and we will say clearly that it came from the person concerned. Asking for a right of reply does not require you to prove a factual error first.
Complaints we cannot resolve
If you are not satisfied with how a correction request has been handled, write again with “Escalation” in the subject line and the matter will be reviewed by the editor. We will set out our reasoning in writing. Nothing in this policy limits your rights under Indian law.
