At It’s Not You It’s Me Media (INYIM), we’re accountable to our readers and the people we cover. When we get something wrong, we fix it—clearly and quickly.

What We Correct

• Factual errors: Names, dates, roles, credits, numbers, attributions.
• Material omissions: Missing context that changes meaning or accuracy.
• Misleading framing: Headlines or social posts that misstate the substance of the article.

How Corrections Work

1. Report received: From readers, sources, or internal review.
2. Verification: Editor investigates the claim and underlying sources.
3. Resolution:
   • Correction: We amend the text and add a note at the end:
     “Correction (Month Day, Year): This story previously misstated X. It has been corrected.”
   • Update: For new, material info:
     “Update (Month Day, Year): This story has been updated with Y.”
   • Clarification: If wording was technically accurate but unclear, we clarify and note it.
4. Versioning: Substantive changes are timestamped.

Social & Syndication

• If an error spread on social media, we post a correction or note on the relevant platform(s) when appropriate.
• Partners who syndicated the piece are notified when material errors are fixed.

Takedowns & Unpublishing

• We correct rather than remove.
• In rare cases—verified hoax, legal obligations, severe privacy risk—senior editors may unpublish, leaving an explanatory note.
