Effective September 21, 2026.
The American Quorum is committed to correcting material errors promptly, clearly, and proportionately. A correction is not an admission that every disputed interpretation is wrong; it is a record that a verifiable statement, implication, quotation, image, or piece of context requires repair.
How to request a correction
Email TAQ@TheAmericanQuorum.com with the subject line Correction request. Please include:
- the article title and URL;
- the exact statement or element you believe is inaccurate;
- the proposed correction; and
- links or copies of supporting primary records or other credible evidence.
We aim to acknowledge substantive correction requests within two business days. We evaluate the cited evidence, consult relevant sources when needed, and ordinarily resolve a supported request within five business days. Urgent errors involving safety, active legal proceedings, election information, market-sensitive data, or a person's identity receive priority.
What readers will see
When a material error is confirmed, TAQ will correct the article and add a dated note explaining what changed. The note will be placed where readers can find it without obscuring the corrected text. If an error affected a headline, excerpt, image, chart, social post, newsletter, or audio version, we will correct those forms when reasonably possible.
Minor typographical, grammatical, formatting, or link repairs that do not change meaning may be made without a formal note. New information added to a developing story may be identified as an update rather than a correction. When the original article was accurate at publication but later events changed the situation, we will not label the earlier account erroneous; we may update it or publish follow-up coverage.
Responses and appeals
A person or organization named in our reporting may submit a factual response. Publication of a response is an editorial decision based on relevance, evidence, clarity, and reader value. If a correction request is denied, the requester may reply with additional documentary evidence and ask the Editor-in-Chief to review the decision.
Removal and retraction
TAQ does not remove accurate reporting merely because it is unfavorable. We may retract or remove material when the central premise is irreparably false, publication creates a serious and unjustified safety risk, law requires removal, or the work violates our standards in a way a correction cannot cure. A retraction notice will normally remain at the original URL so the public record is not silently erased.
Our broader verification and review process is described in the Editorial Standards.
