Corrections Policy

Our standard: If we get something wrong, we fix it fast—and we say so plainly. Accuracy, transparency, accountability.

​

What we correct

​

• Factual errors: names, numbers, dates, titles, locations, quotations, photo/video captions.

• Material omissions that change meaning or context.

• Audio/Video misstatements in shows, transcripts, captions, graphics, or lower thirds.

• We also correct typos when they affect meaning. Cosmetic typos that don’t change meaning may be silently cleaned in routine edits.

How to request a correction

​

• Email: Karen@KarenHartleyNagle.com with the subject “Correction Request”.

• Include the URL, the exact passage, what you believe is wrong, and any documentation.

​​

Our review timeline

​

• Acknowledge within 1 business day.

• Investigate promptly; most corrections are resolved within 72 hours.

• Complex matters (legal, multi-source) may take up to 7 days; we’ll update you on status.

How we label changes

​

• Correction: We published an error. We state what it was and what’s now correct.

• Clarification: Wording was accurate but could be clearer; we refine and note it.

• Update: New facts after publication; we time-stamp the addition.

• Editor’s Note: Context the audience needs (ethics, methodology, conflicts).

• Retraction: In rare cases where a core claim cannot be supported; we remove or replace and explain why.

​​

Where corrections appear

​

• On-page:

  • Material errors: a correction note near the top of the page, time-stamped.

  • Limited errors: a note at the bottom of the page, time-stamped.

• Corrections Log: A public, chronological log linked in the footer (headline, URL, what changed, time stamp).

• Social platforms: We post an amended item and reply/annotate the original thread with the correction; we pin when appropriate.

• Audio/Video:

  • Show notes updated with a clear correction line and time-code.

  • Major errors: corrected version is re-uploaded; the original is labeled and linked to the fix.

​​

Sourcing & fairness

​

• We protect confidential sources while correcting the record.

• If a subject disputes our correction decision, they may request a brief Right of Reply; we’ll publish it or link to it when it advances clarity.

Takedowns

• We do not remove accurate reporting. Content may be temporarily withheld only for legal, safety, or court-ordered reasons—documented by an Editor’s Note.

​​

Escalation

​

• If you believe a correction was mishandled, email Karen@KarenHartleyNagle.com with the subject “Corrections Appeal”. Appeals go to the Publisher & Editor.

​​

Accessibility & Accommodations Policy

​

Our standard: Truth is only truth if people can reach it. We design for inclusion first.

​

Commitment

​

• We are working to meet WCAG 2.2 AA across The Truthline Network’s web, audio, and video properties.

• We audit quarterly and fix issues as we find them.

Design & content standards

​

• Contrast & color: High-contrast palette; no meaning conveyed by color alone.

• Type & layout: Resizable text, logical headings, generous line height, skip-to-content links.

• Keyboard: Full keyboard navigation; visible focus states on interactive elements.

• Images & charts: Descriptive alt text; data tables with headers; downloadable accessible PDFs.

• Links: Clear, descriptive link text (no “click here”).

• Motion: Avoid auto-playing audio/video and excessive animation.

​

Audio/Video accessibility

​

• Captions: All new video content captioned; Live shows use live captions (best-effort) with a human-reviewed caption file posted within 48 hours.

• Transcripts: Full transcripts for radio/podcasts within 48 hours; earlier for breaking items when feasible.

• ASL/CART: Available for live virtual events with 72 hours’ notice.

• Audio description: Provided upon request for major visuals; we also write descriptively in scripts.

• Slide decks & documents: Posted in accessible formats when referenced on air.

​​

Events & appearances

​

• Physical venues: ADA-compliant entrances, seating, restrooms, and signage whenever we control the venue.

• Virtual events: Platform tested for captions, keyboard access, and screen reader compatibility.

• Notice: If you need specific accommodations, tell us at least 72 hours before the event.

​​

Requesting an accommodation

​

• Email: Karen@KarenHartleyNagle.com with the subject “Accommodation Request”.

• Include: the page/episode/event, what you need, and your preferred contact.

• We acknowledge within 1 business day and confirm arrangements or alternatives.

​​

If we fall short

​

• Send a note to Karen@KarenHartleyNagle.com with the subject “Accessibility Feedback”.

• We log issues, prioritize fixes, and report material improvements on our Accessibility Updates page.

​​

Third-party platforms

​

• Some accessibility features depend on platforms (e.g., Spotify, YouTube, social apps). If a platform falls short, we provide the most accessible alternative on KarenHartleyNagle.com (e.g., downloadable transcript, captioned version, or alternate player).

​​

Privacy

​​

• Accommodation and correction requests are handled confidentially and stored securely. We publish no personal details without consent.
