Accuracy is central to our work. If we get something wrong, we want to know — and we fix it openly.

How to ask for a correction
Email corrections@bravenews.eu with the subject line “Correction request”. Please include:
- a link to the article;
- what you believe is wrong, incomplete or misleading;
- any evidence that helps us check it (documents, links, recordings).
Anyone can ask for a correction. You do not need to be named in the story.
What happens next
- We reply to every request within 7 working days, usually much sooner.
- The editor who did not write the story reviews the request and the evidence.
- When we confirm an error, we correct the article within 24 hours.
- We tell you what we decided and why, including when we decide not to change the story.
How corrections appear
We do not quietly change published stories. Changes are shown at the top of the article, with the date and time:
- Correction — a factual error was fixed. The note says what was wrong and what is right.
- Clarification — the facts were right but the wording could mislead; we made it clearer.
- Update — new facts or developments were added after publication.
- Editor’s note — other important changes, for example why a story was changed or a reply added.
- Retraction — in the rare case that a story cannot stand, we say so and explain why. We do not delete it without explanation.
Spelling and typing errors that do not change the meaning are fixed without a note. Significant corrections are also shared on the channels where we promoted the story.
Right of reply
If you or your organisation are named in a story or directly affected by it, you have a right to reply:
- Formal reply. Under Belgian law on the right of reply, you can send a reply or clarification to editor@bravenews.eu. We assess it promptly and, where it meets the legal conditions, publish it with or below the original story.
- Public response. Because comments on our site are closed to prevent abuse, we also publish responses on our LinkedIn page, provided they respect our house rules (no insults, threats or unlawful content).
Before we publish a story that makes serious claims about someone, we contact them and give them a fair chance to respond. Their response, or the fact that they did not respond, is in the story.
