Corrections
We aim to be accurate. When we are not, we correct the record.
Our approach
- We review every correction request.
- If a report contains an error of fact, we correct the article.
- For significant errors, we add a note to the article explaining what was changed.
- If a report identifies someone it should not, we remove the details or the article.

Takedown and privacy requests
If a story identifies a child, identifies the victim of a sexual offence, contains a private address or phone number, or reports a case that was later dropped or ended in acquittal, use the form below and begin your message with TAKEDOWN. These requests go to the top of the editors' queue and the details are removed while we review.
Corrections log
- 27 Oct 2026 · Afenyo-Markin withdraws defamation suit against NEIP boss Eric Adjei: The case-status label on this report wrongly said "Acquitted". The report concerns a civil defamation suit that was withdrawn, not a criminal acquittal. The label has been removed.
Transparency
- Most stories are summaries of reports from Ghanaian publishers and official bodies, written with AI assistance and automatic checks. Each one names and links its source. How we use AI.
- Labels such as “Charged” or “Convicted” come from the source report. When one is wrong, we fix it and log it above.
- “Verified by 2 sources” (or more) appears only when at least two separate outlets or official bodies reported the story.
- Off-topic items that slip through are unpublished, not deleted, and the change is recorded in our internal audit log.
