Colombo Tribune aims to be accurate and fair. When we make a mistake, we correct it openly.

How to report an error

Email info.thinksl@gmail.com with the link to the story, what you believe is wrong and, if you can, a source that shows the correct information. We review every report.

How we correct

  • Factual errors such as a wrong name, number, date or title are corrected in the story as soon as they are confirmed.
  • Significant errors that change the meaning of a story are corrected and noted at the end of the story with a short explanation and the date of the correction.
  • Updates. When a developing story changes, we update it and say so, rather than silently rewriting earlier facts.
  • Removal. We remove a story only in exceptional cases, for example on legal grounds or where it could put someone at risk, and we explain the removal where we can.
