Corrections

The SB Sentinel publishes a correction whenever a published item is found to be wrong. Every correction is logged here in full: its date, the item affected, what was wrong, and the correct position.

Item
Daily Headline Digest, 20 September 2026 — the oil price figure

What was wrong
The digest carried a line that oil had crossed $100 a barrel. That figure came from press reporting rather than a market data feed, and was stated in a way that could be read as a confirmed quote.

What was changed
The figure was subsequently labelled as press-reported rather than confirmed, and the desk now marks every price figure by whether it came from a live quote or from reporting.

1 correction logged to date, newest first.

Corrections are issued as soon as the desk confirms an error. The original item is annotated rather than quietly deleted, and this log is append-only — nothing is ever removed from it.

How to request a correction

If you believe we have published something inaccurate, email the desk with the item you are writing about, the date it ran and the specific error you are disputing. We will check it against the original source and respond, and if a correction is warranted it is logged on this page.

Corrections desk email: sunny@sbsentinel.live

The desk responds to every correction request, and logs a correction here whenever one is warranted — corrections are never made silently.

The four-line policy

A correction fixes a fact that was wrong when we filed it.
A clarification leaves the fact standing and tightens wording that could mislead.
An update adds a new primary after the lock and is not an admission the first file was false.
A retraction kills the item and is rare, used when the premise does not survive two grades.

What we will correct

Wrong name, place, count, time, flag or official title.
A wrong source grade — a SOCIAL filed as PRIMARY.
A “NOT YET ON U.S. PACKAGE” tag after U.S. nets had already aired it.
A LIVE badge on a filed or two-day-old advisory.
A how-it-hits-Americans line that overstates community or state impact.
Any sentence that sounded like a Wireless Emergency Alert or an official order.

What we will not treat as a correction

Disagreement with an official we quoted accurately.
A later event that changed the story, which is an update.
Tone, which we will look at but will not log as a factual correction.
Takedown demands with no showing of error.

How a correction appears

Surface	What changes
Original card	Struck through or labelled CORRECTED, with the new fact in one plain sentence and the time in MT and UTC.
This log	The same sentence, a link to the item, and the editor’s initials.
On-camera rundown	If we said it on air, we say the correction on the next window.
Social / email blast	If the error left the building, the correction follows the same path.

The public log

The same log, kept in the ledger row shape it is audited in. The published entries above and this table are the same record, read two ways.

Every logged correction: when it was logged, its type, the item, what was wrong, what is true and the editor who signed it.
