Correction Reflections 2022

Correction Reflections

This form is the initial point of contact to the Managing Editor who will handle your correction.
When filling out this form, the steps you should have already taken are as follows:
- You should have contacted your editor with the issue that requires correcting
  - Your editor will determine if it warrants a correction or if it is an error that can be fixed without one
- (If applicable) You should have contacted your source(s) and apologized for the error
- You should have assembled documentation on the following questions:
  - What the correction is?
  - Why it occurred?
  - Who it involves?
  - Where (if applicable) in the process did the correction occur?
  - How it could have been prevented?
You will use the documentation above to fill out this form.
- You should have scheduled a meeting with Emmy via Calendly
Once you have done the above, the corrections process will continue from here as follows:
- A meeting will occur between your editor and the managing editor.
  - We will discuss all of the aforementioned parameters of the issue
- The managing editor will schedule a meeting with you before your next story is set to be published
  - If warranted, your editor, the managing editor and you will meet.
- The managing editor will draft (if time permits) a correction with you and the writer will assist the ME in posting it to the website
- A staff-wide correction email will be sent, including your correction
  - This email will NOT identify you, your story or highlight your mistake as punitive. This is a tool for us to learn.
