How to report an error

If something in a Booked News story is wrong, tell us with the form below or by email to info@bookednews.com. Say which story and what is wrong; a link to the right source helps. The standards desk reads every report within two business days and corrects the story when the report is right. A substantive error is corrected in the text, the story carries an "Updated" line with the date, and the change is recorded in the log on this page. A report about a named person, a death, an injury, a lawsuit or an accusation goes to the publisher's legal desk the same day.
