The Toronto Sentinel is committed to accuracy in all published content. Our editorial team diligently reports on events and issues across the Greater Toronto Area. We recognize that factual errors can occur despite rigorous journalistic practices.
When an inaccuracy is identified, we promptly review the information. Our policy is to correct verifiable errors swiftly and transparently. This page details our approach to maintaining editorial integrity.
Readers who identify what they believe to be an error of fact in our published articles are encouraged to bring it to our attention. Precise details are essential for our review process.
Please send an email to legal@torontosentinel.ca. Include the article headline, the date of publication, the specific sentence or paragraph containing the alleged error, and the correct information along with any supporting documentation.
Our legal and editorial teams will assess all reports. They will investigate the claims thoroughly to determine the validity of the reported inaccuracy.
The Toronto Sentinel distinguishes between different types of amendments to ensure appropriate action. Our goal is always to provide readers with the most accurate information available.
These are straightforward mistakes related to names, dates, figures, locations, or descriptions. When a factual error is confirmed, we will correct the article directly.
An editor's note will be appended to the article, placed at the end of the text. This note will clearly state the correction, the date it was made, and what was changed.
Sometimes, an article may be factually correct but might lack context or could be misinterpreted. In such cases, we may issue a clarification.
A clarification aims to expand upon existing information without altering the core facts. These will also be noted with an editor's note, explaining the added detail or refined wording.
Articles may be updated with new information that becomes available after original publication. These updates typically occur for ongoing stories and are noted within the article itself, often indicating "Updated" with a timestamp.
In rare circumstances, if an article is found to be fundamentally flawed or based on entirely false premises, it may be retracted. A retraction is issued when the entire piece no longer meets our editorial standards for accuracy.
Transparency is a core principle of our journalistic practice. We believe that acknowledging and correcting errors openly builds trust with our readership.
This page serves as a public record of our commitment. It outlines the mechanisms by which we maintain the accuracy and integrity of our reporting.
We do not delete articles containing errors without issuing a correction or retraction. Our policy prioritizes presenting an accurate historical record of our reporting.
Individual corrections will be appended directly to the relevant articles. This section of the website will periodically list significant corrections that have been made across our publication.
Readers can refer to this page for an overview of recent amendments. Each entry will typically include the article title, date of original publication, and a brief description of the correction.
This aggregated list further reinforces our dedication to transparent journalism for the Toronto community.
