Introduction: Why Our Corrections Policy Matters
At JMurrayAthletics, accuracy is one of our highest editorial priorities. This Corrections Policy outlines how we identify, verify, correct, and communicate errors in our reporting. Whether the issue is minor or significant, transparency and accountability guide every step of the process.

Our goal is simple: to earn and keep your trust through honest, responsible journalism.
Our Commitment to Accurate Reporting
We strive to produce content grounded in:
- Firsthand observation
- Verified sources
- On-site event coverage
- Direct athlete and promoter communication
- Thorough fact-checking
Even with these standards, mistakes can happen. When they do, we correct them clearly, promptly, and publicly.
How We Identify Errors
Errors may be brought to our attention through:
- Reader feedback via our Contact page (internal link suggested)
- Direct messages on social media
- Email submissions to: Socialmedia.jmurrayathletics@gmail.com
- Athletes, coaches, or event organizers contacting us directly
- Internal editorial review
Any credible claim of an error is investigated by editorial leadership.
You may also reference our Actionable Feedback Policy for more details on how feedback is processed.
Our Correction Process
1. Review & Verification
Once a potential error is reported, our editorial team reviews:
- Source material
- Interview notes
- Event footage
- Official results or scorecards
- Published statements or documentation
If the error is confirmed, we proceed to correction.
2. Correction Types
A. Minor Corrections
These include typos, formatting issues, or small clarifications.
- Corrected silently or with a brief note when relevant
- Do not materially change the meaning of the article
B. Major Corrections
These include factual inaccuracies involving:
- Fighter names
- Event outcomes
- Dates or locations
- Misquoted individuals
- Misstated claims
For significant corrections:
- A correction notice is added at the bottom of the article
- The date and nature of the correction are clearly stated
- Impacted individuals may be notified directly
3. Updating Stories
Some stories evolve as events unfold.
When updates are made:
- We label them as Updated rather than Corrected
- We explain what changed and why
This ensures clarity between evolving news and actual errors.
Appeals & Follow-Ups
If a correction request is disputed, JMurrayAthletics:
- Reviews the request a second time
- Contacts involved parties if needed
- Documents the outcome
- Updates the article if warranted
We take every correction request seriously — your voice matters.
Transparency Across the Platform
This Corrections Policy works alongside other JMA transparency pages, including:
- Publishing Principles
- Ownership & Funding Transparency
- AI Ethics Policy
Together, these form a complete picture of how JMurrayAthletics operates with integrity.
Final Statement
We believe responsible reporting requires humility, professionalism, and accountability. If you notice an issue — no matter how small — we encourage you to reach out.
Your feedback helps us protect the accuracy, fairness, and reputation of JMurrayAthletics.
