TalkMarkets seeks to correct material factual errors in its own editorial content and to handle attribution and disclosure issues transparently. This policy covers factual corrections. It does not require TalkMarkets to change an analysis, opinion, forecast, or contributor viewpoint merely because a reader disagrees with it.
How to report a potential error
Use the TalkMarkets Contact Us page. Include the page URL, the statement at issue, the reason it may be inaccurate, and the most relevant supporting source where available. Reports relating to disclosures or attribution should identify the missing or disputed information.
How a report is assessed
The designated editorial or policy owner assesses whether the issue is factual, material, supported by reliable source material, and within TalkMarkets' control to correct. For financial, legal, regulatory, or time-sensitive claims, the assessment should use the source hierarchy in the financial-content source and review standard, with primary sources preferred for material claims.
What happens when a correction is warranted
When a material factual correction is warranted, TalkMarkets updates the affected page and adds a dated correction notice that briefly identifies the factual change. The correction should preserve the original contributor attribution, source information, disclosures, canonical URL, and material context unless a documented approval requires a different treatment.
Minor non-substantive changes, including spelling, formatting, and link repairs that do not change meaning, may be made without a correction notice. Substantive editorial updates that are not corrections should be labeled as updates where context is necessary for readers to understand the change.
Retractions, removals, and disputes
Retractions, removals, contributor-rights disputes, and issues involving legal, regulatory, or potentially material financial claims require the confirmed TalkMarkets policy owner's decision. The technical implementer may not decide these outcomes. Where a public explanation is approved, it must be accurate, limited to the approved facts, and retain a dated record of the action.
Recordkeeping and review
Each material correction, retraction, or policy exception should have a dated internal record containing the affected URL, issue, information considered, decision owner, public wording, implementation result, and post-publication verification. The record is not a replacement for the correction notice required on an affected public page.
