Corrections

We work hard to get things right, but sometimes we will get something wrong. When that happens, we want to fix it quickly and openly. This follows the Danish press ethics rules, which say that incorrect information must be corrected.

How to tell us

Email jonas.laursen@danishdispatch.dk with a link to the article, what you think is wrong, and, if you can, a source that shows the correct information.

What we do

• We add a correction note at the top of the article for any error of fact that could mislead readers or affect a person or organisation we write about.
• If a headline, quote or attribution was wrong, we always add a note at the top, even if the fix is small.
• Significant updates, when a story develops in an important way after we publish, get a dated “Updated” note at the top, so you can see that the article has changed.
• Typos, spelling and grammar that don’t change the meaning are fixed without a note.

Each note is dated and says what was wrong, e.g. “Correction, 24 October 2026: An earlier version of this article gave the wrong title for the minister.”

If the error also appeared in our social media posts, we correct it there too.

We correct errors as soon as we know about them, whether someone tells us or we find them ourselves. We never quietly change the substance of a published article.

If someone we reported as charged or convicted is later acquitted, we write a new article about the acquittal. We don’t just add a line to the old story.

Removing articles

We do not normally delete or unpublish articles, because our archive should be an honest record. In exceptional cases, for example to protect someone’s safety, we may remove or anonymise an article. If you want us to remove, anonymise or delist something, contact us first. That is also the first step before you can take such a request to the Press Council.
