Fundamental to The Daily Tar Heel’s mission of provoking thought and inspiring action is accuracy. Failure to report accurately undermines the publication’s credibility in the eyes of our readers and peers. As a general rule, the DTH does not run any piece of information that we are not 100 percent sure is correct. That being said, mistakes are inevitable. Reporters and editors must be responsive and forthright in dealing with accuracy issues. The news organization serves as a historical record and any blemishes must be corrected.
Read The Daily Tar Heel’s correction’s policy and our policy on archive manipulations. All corrections are published online and in the paper. Corrections in print run on page three unless they are correcting a front page.
