Correction Policy for BizJump.co.za
BizJump.co.za (hereinafter referred to as “BizJump” / “We” / “Us” / “Our”) would like to inform you, through this Correction Policy, about the corrective measures We adopt in case We find that any incorrect information has been published on Our Website. We are committed to maintaining accuracy and transparency, and it is Our responsibility to correct any errors promptly and notify you accordingly.
Premise
BizJump strives to present our audience with accurate and comprehensive information, ensuring that all reports are based on the available facts at the time of publication. As a digital platform, we are committed to correcting errors and clarifying any misunderstandings swiftly as soon as they come to Our attention. We provide transparency by issuing corrections and clarifications via our social media channels or through an editor’s note that highlights the correction and explains what the error was. Should a significant mistake that could lead to misinformation be discovered, We will issue a timely apology to Our readers.
Updating a Report
BizJump follows the practice of clearly marking articles that have been updated. When a story undergoes an update, We use a correction, clarification, or editor’s note to inform readers about any significant mistake corrected or additions made, such as comments from stakeholders or new developments. In cases of fact-checking errors, which are addressed in accordance with Our Fact-Check Policy (available at [insert “Fact-Check Policy” link]), We will make the necessary updates and clearly mark the article with a bold “[Correction: updated Info…]” at the top of the page explaining the correction. Readers are encouraged to report corrections by contacting the editorial team at [email protected], and an option to suggest corrections will be provided at the bottom of each article.
Corrections
If an error is found in an article, photo caption, headline, graphic, video, or any other published material, We will promptly issue a correction that clearly explains the reason for the change.
Clarification
If Our journalism is factually correct but the language used could have been clearer or more detailed, We will rewrite and clarify the language. Clarifications may also be issued if We initially failed to include a comment or response that has now been added, or if new reporting has altered Our understanding of an event.
Editor’s Notes
If a correction raises significant ethical issues or calls into question the entirety of an article, an editor’s note may be added. This note will be accompanied by an explanation of what was problematic. The addition of editor’s notes is approved by a senior editor to ensure accountability and transparency.
Other Corrections Policies
- If a reader identifies an error in the comment stream, Our community engagement team may indicate that the error has been corrected.
- If We make an error on Our social media platforms, We will correct it on that platform. In cases where it is not possible to modify the post, the incorrect information will be retracted.
- We refrain from assigning blame to individual reporters or editors (e.g., “due to a reporting error” or “due to an editing mistake”).
Reporting Inaccuracies
If you believe a story published on BizJump is inaccurate, please contact Our editorial team by using the “Suggest A Correction” section at the bottom of each article, or email Us directly at [email protected].
Take-down Requests
As part of Our editorial policy, We do not entertain take-down requests. If the subject of a story asserts that the article contains inaccuracies, We are open to investigating the claim and, if warranted, publishing a correction.
If Our previous coverage needs updating or follow-up due to fairness or new developments, We will address it appropriately but will not remove the original article entirely.
When it comes to publishing personal information, We will only review take-down requests if the individual is at risk of physical harm as a result of the information’s existence.
Content Modification and AI Tools
BizJump makes use of AI tools such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini to assist with content creation and modification. If any correction or update is needed, changes are implemented instantly upon receiving the necessary details. To request content corrections, please provide the correction details by emailing [email protected] along with the relevant story link.
