editorial@cryptofox.newsOur commitment
CryptoFox is committed to correcting errors promptly, visibly, and honestly. We do not silently edit published articles to remove mistakes. We do not issue corrections in language designed to obscure what was wrong. We do not resent being told we are wrong.
A correction is not an embarrassment — it is the mechanism by which trustworthy journalism maintains its trust. Outlets that hide errors or make corrections difficult to submit are not protecting their credibility; they are destroying it.
Every correction we publish is a public record. Corrections are permanently attached to the original article and are not removed when an article is archived. The date and nature of every significant correction is logged in our corrections register, which is published monthly on this page.
How to report an error
Email editorial@cryptofox.news with the following information. Reports that include all four elements are handled fastest.
- The URL of the article — paste the full web address.
- The specific claim you believe is incorrect — quote the exact sentence or figure rather than a general description of the problem.
- What you believe the correct information is — describe or state the accurate version.
- Your source or evidence — a link to a primary source, a document, or a detailed explanation of why you believe the claim is wrong. This helps us evaluate quickly; you do not need to provide evidence to initiate a review, but it speeds the process significantly.
You do not need to create an account, be a subscriber, or provide your name to report an error. Anonymous submissions are reviewed with the same diligence as named ones.
How we handle correction reports
Correction types & response SLAs
How corrections appear on articles
Correction notes appear at the foot of the relevant article, above the comments section if present. They are never buried in the middle of an article where a casual reader might miss them. For significant corrections, a notice also appears at the top of the article body.
All correction notes follow a standard format that includes: the date the correction was published, what was wrong, and what the correct information is.
CryptoFox does not alter the publication date of an article when a correction is made. The original publication date is preserved. The correction date is separately noted.
What we will not change
Not every request to change an article is a legitimate correction request. The following are not corrections and will not result in changes to published articles:
- Disagreement with editorial opinion or analysis. Opinions in clearly labeled opinion pieces represent the author's view. We will not change them because a subject disagrees. Factual claims within opinion pieces are subject to correction if wrong.
- Requests to remove unflattering but accurate information. If a fact is accurate and relevant, it stays in the article regardless of who is embarrassed by it.
- Requests to update market prices in published articles. Prices cited in articles reflect the price at the time of writing. We do not retroactively update them; they are part of the historical record.
- Requests from subjects of stories who simply want the story gone. We do not remove accurate stories because a subject would prefer they had not been published.
- "Right to be forgotten" requests for news articles. Our legal position on these requests is set out in our Privacy Policy. Legitimate legal requests are handled by legal@cryptofox.news.
Retractions
A retraction is the strongest form of correction available and is reserved for cases where a story should not have been published at all. Grounds for retraction include:
- The story was based substantially on fabricated information or documents
- The sole or primary source deceived us about their identity, their knowledge, or the facts they provided, in a way that materially undermines the story
- A reporting or editorial failure so fundamental that no correction can restore the article's basic accuracy
- A story that was published in violation of our editorial standards or without proper fact-checking, where the factual errors are too numerous to correct individually
When we retract a story, the original article is replaced by a retraction notice that explains, in plain language, why the article was retracted. We do not simply delete articles — the URL remains live with the retraction notice. The retraction is logged permanently in our corrections register. The social media posts linking to the original story are updated to link to the retraction notice.
Appealing a decision
If a correction request is rejected and you believe the decision was wrong, you may appeal by emailing editorial@cryptofox.news with the subject line "Correction Appeal — [article URL]". Appeals are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief, independent of the original investigation.
If you believe our corrections process itself is inadequate or that we have behaved unethically, you may contact us via the process described in our Code of Ethics, or refer your complaint to an appropriate press standards body in your jurisdiction.
