The Guardian issued a set of corrections and clarifications on June 24 2026, addressing inaccuracies in two previously published articles. The corrections cover a historical fact error and a policy clarification, underscoring the publication's commitment to accuracy and transparency.
Historical Fact Correction
An article published on June 22 2026 incorrectly stated that the first moon landing occurred in 1968. The correct year is 1969. The error was introduced during editing and was not present in the original submission. The Guardian apologizes for the mistake and has updated the online version.
Policy Article Clarification
A piece on June 20 2026 about the government's new housing policy implied that all new developments would be exempt from environmental impact assessments. In fact, only developments under a certain threshold are exempt. The Guardian regrets the oversimplification and has added a clarifying note to the article.
