Our Commitment to Prompt Corrections

When Undiscovered America TV gets a fact wrong, we correct it — quickly, visibly, and with enough context that readers can see what changed. We do not silently edit substantive claims. We do not delete and replace. We leave a record.

How to Report an Error

If you believe something in a Undiscovered America TV article is factually incorrect — a number, a name, a date, a citation — please let us know. The fastest route is our contact form. You can also email corrections@undiscoverusa-h2abfkdefubweqep.westus2-01.azurewebsites.net with the article URL and a description of the error. If you have a primary source that contradicts our reporting, please include a link to it.

Correction Workflow

1. Received. Every correction report is logged on intake — timestamped, assigned an ID, queued for editorial review. We acknowledge receipt within 48 hours.
2. Verified. An editor resolves the contested claim against the primary source of record. If the source supports the report, the correction advances; if not, we write back with our reasoning.
3. Corrected. The article is updated in place. The change is committed to our internal audit trail so the correction is tied to the report that prompted it.
4. Readers notified. The corrected article carries an editorial note identifying what changed and when. The correction is added to our public corrections log.

What a Correction Looks Like

Substantive corrections are marked visibly at the top of the affected article. Example:

Reader-Verifiable Corrections: the Claim-Graph Merkle Root

Every Undiscovered America TV article publishes a Merkle root computed over its claim graph — the full bibliography of sources and the specific claims each source supports. The root is recorded at publication time. When we correct an article, we publish the new root alongside the old one, so readers (and external auditors) can verify that the only bibliography changes are the ones we announced. A quiet edit that changed a source without a corresponding correction note would change the root, and the discrepancy would be detectable by anyone with the original root value.

In practice: the Merkle root lets you trust the correction log, not just our good intentions.
