Corrections

Where to send word of a mistake in an Amorielli piece, what the standards desk then does, and the record of each correction it has entered (16 to date).

When something is wrong

Found an error in an Amorielli piece? Use the form here, or write to info@amorielli.com, naming the story and the point you believe is mistaken; a pointer to the correct source is welcome. Within two business days the standards desk reads what you sent and, where you are right, puts the story right. A material error is changed in the text itself, an "Updated" line with the date is added to the piece, and the entry appears in the log below. Anything that concerns a person by name, or a death, injury, court case or accusation, is passed the same day to the publisher's legal desk.
