At BDP: BangladesherPatro, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and transparency in our reporting. Our Corrections Policy outlines our procedures for addressing and correcting errors promptly and transparently to ensure our readers have access to reliable and trustworthy information.

1. Identification of Errors

• Internal Review: Our editorial team regularly reviews published content to identify any potential errors or inaccuracies.
• Reader Feedback: We encourage our readers to report any errors they encounter. Feedback can be submitted through our website’s contact form, email, or social media channels.

2. Assessment of Errors

• Fact-Checking: Once an error is reported or identified, our fact-checking team investigates the claim to determine its validity. This involves verifying the information against credible sources.
• Severity Evaluation: We assess the severity of the error to determine the appropriate level of correction, distinguishing between minor typographical errors and significant factual inaccuracies.

3. Correction Procedures

• Minor Errors: For minor errors, such as typographical mistakes, we correct the text promptly without issuing a formal correction notice. The correction is noted at the bottom of the article.
• Significant Errors: For substantial errors that affect the overall understanding of the article, we issue a formal correction. The corrected article will include a prominently displayed correction notice at the top or bottom, explaining the nature of the error and the changes made.

4. Transparency and Accountability

• Correction Notices: All corrections include a clear notice indicating what was incorrect and how it has been rectified. This notice is dated to maintain transparency.
• Updated Content: Corrected articles are updated to reflect the accurate information, ensuring that readers accessing the article in the future receive the correct information.

5. Archiving and Documentation

• Record Keeping: We maintain a log of all corrections made, including the original content, the corrected content, and the date of correction. This log is accessible to our editorial team for reference and accountability.
• Public Archive: Significant corrections are documented in a public archive on our website, allowing readers to review our correction history and understand our commitment to accuracy.
