Accuracy & Corrections Policy
Our Commitment to Accuracy At Hot Minute Calgary, we take pride in our credibility. To put it simply: we don't like to be wrong. Our editorial process is designed to be rigorous and thorough specifically so we don't have to print retractions. We believe the best way to handle a correction is to do the work required to get it right the first time.
Transparency & Accountability That said, we recognize that we are human and that the news cycle moves fast. We are committed to transparency and accountability. We are not afraid to admit when we are wrong, and we believe that correcting the record is a sign of strength, not weakness.
How We Handle Errors If we have published factual errors, misidentifications, or incorrect data, we want to know about it.
- Minor Errors: Typos or minor inaccuracies that do not change the context of the story will be updated immediately.
- Substantive Errors: Significant factual errors will be corrected with an editor’s note at the bottom of the article indicating what was changed and when.
Report an Error If you spot an inaccuracy, please don't hesitate to reach out. We welcome the feedback. Email us at: hello@hotminutecalgary.com with the subject line: Correction Request.
