Corrections

When an error is confirmed in an article, we fix it as quickly as possible. Corrections that change a fact are noted separately at the top or bottom of the article, and the same notes are collected here in chronological order. Where there is a significant risk of rights infringement or privacy concerns, we may unpublish part or all of a story.

Response principles

Requests for corrections, takedowns, or rights infringement are handled directly by KWaveWire. Once received, we respond under the following principles.

• First reply within 72 hours— we confirm receipt and report the status of our review to the requester's email.
• Final resolution within 14 days — we report the outcome, such as publishing a correction, editing the text, unpublishing, or removal. If additional fact-checking is needed, we still update you on the status within 14 days.
• Matters with a high likelihood of rights infringement — such as defamation, image rights, or protection of minors — move quickly to a review for unpublishing or removal even before the first reply.

These principles are standards KWaveWire sets voluntarily, not the legal obligations of a registered press outlet.

Replies and objections

Even when there is no factual error, an individual or organization named in a story who believes their position was conveyed unfairly may request a reply (inclusion of their position) or an objection. This is a separate process from a correction that fixes a factual error or a takedown that removes a post.

• If the request is reasonable, we add the party's position or reply to the article, or use an editor's note to restore balance and context.
• If a factual error is also confirmed during review, we move to the correction process; if the likelihood of rights infringement is high, we move to a review for unpublishing or removal.
• The receipt and handling of requests follow the same response principles above (first reply within 72 hours / final resolution within 14 days).

This reply and objection process is a standard KWaveWire sets voluntarily and differs from any statutory right-of-reply or arbitration procedure under applicable law.

How to request

Requests for corrections, takedowns, replies, objections, or rights infringement are accepted on the contact page. Please include the URL of the article in question, the problem passage, your request, and a contact email.

  Corrected the soloist’s release date from May 8 to May 9. The error came from mis-transcribing the date on the agency notice.
