At The Licking News, our mission is to provide accurate, trustworthy, and timely news to our readers. We understand that despite our best efforts, errors can occasionally occur. When they do, we are committed to correcting them promptly, transparently, and thoroughly.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy is a cornerstone of our journalism. Before publication, all articles go through a rigorous editorial process, including fact-checking and verification from reliable sources. If we discover that a published article contains a factual error, we take immediate steps to correct it.
How We Handle Corrections
- Minor Corrections: Spelling, grammar, or typographical errors that do not affect the meaning of the content may be corrected without a formal notice, although the timestamp may be updated to reflect the change.
- Substantive Corrections: If an error materially affects the accuracy or understanding of a story—such as a misquoted individual, incorrect statistics, or inaccurate reporting—we will issue a correction notice at the top or bottom of the article, depending on the context.
- Retractions: In rare cases, if a story is found to be fundamentally flawed or published in error, we may retract the article entirely. A notice will be published explaining the reason for the retraction.
How to Request a Correction
If you believe we’ve made a mistake, we encourage you to bring it to our attention. Please contact us at:

Our editorial team will review your request promptly and follow up as necessary.
Transparency and Trust
Every correction helps strengthen our commitment to credible journalism. We are thankful to our readers and community members who help us maintain the highest standards of reporting.
