Corrections policy

We want every YouScoop story to say exactly what the outlets behind it reported. When we get something wrong, we fix it fast and say so.

When the outlets change their story

For a day after a story goes up, we check every hour whether the outlets it is based on still carry their reports. If half or more have taken theirs down, our story comes down too, and its page says it was removed.

When you spot a mistake

Send the form below. Your request is handled straight away:

1. The story is checked again against the reports of the outlets it names — the same fact-check every story passes before it is published — and your point is checked against those reports too.
2. If the reports show the story is wrong or unsupported, the story is taken down at once (its page says it was removed, and our Facebook post about it is deleted).
3. If the reports support the story, it stays up.
4. Either way, we email you the outcome and what the outlets’ reports say.

When it is your video or photo

Choose “Remove my video or photo”: the embed, and any preview picture made from it, is removed from the story straight away, and we email you to confirm.
