PhotoWorkout is a small, solo-edited publication. When we get something wrong — and over thousands of posts published since 2018, we have — we correct it. This page explains exactly how that works.
What we correct
We correct any factual error a reader can verify: an incorrect specification, a misattributed photo, an outdated price or availability claim, a misquoted source, a broken link to important supporting material, or a name spelled wrong. We correct errors in our news coverage, our buying guides, our tutorials, and our reviews equally.
We do not silently rewrite published articles to change their substance. Substantive corrections are marked. Trivial fixes — typos, broken HTML, image-CDN swaps — are made without notice.
How to report an error
Email [email protected] with the URL of the page, a brief description of what is wrong, and — if possible — a link to a source we can verify the correct information against. We read every email and reply when a correction is made.
You can also use the contact form on our About page.
How significant corrections are marked
When a substantive correction is made — a changed factual claim, a corrected attribution, a withdrawn recommendation — we add a dated correction notice to the article. The notice appears near the top of the post and explains what was changed and why. The original incorrect text is not preserved publicly, but the change history is internally logged so we can answer questions about it.
Posts with substantive corrections also get an updated “Last Editorial Update” date in the byline, distinct from the original publish date. Both dates remain visible to the reader.
Retractions
If an article turns out to be substantially wrong in ways that a correction notice cannot honestly fix — for example, a news report based on a source that turns out to have been fabricating — we retract it. The article is replaced with a plain retraction notice that explains what was wrong and what we did about it. We do not 404 the URL: the retraction page stays at the original location so anyone who linked to or shared the article can see what happened.
Editorial accountability
Andreas De Rosi is the founder, sole editor, and publisher of PhotoWorkout. Final responsibility for every correction decision rests with him. Andreas can be reached at [email protected].
Our standards for how articles are reported, sourced, and verified in the first place are described on our Editorial Standards page.
