Corrections and clarifications are essential for maintaining trust in journalism. This article highlights recent corrections made by our newsroom, ensuring accuracy and transparency for our readers.
Recent Corrections in Our Reporting
We recently published a correction regarding Awaab's law. The original article stated that landlords have a legal obligation to deal with mould in rented housing. To clarify, this applies to social landlords in England and is set to be extended to the private rented sector at a later date. This correction is important for tenants and landlords alike.

Another correction involved Italy's beaches. A subheading incorrectly referred to the country's "8,000-metre coastline," but the correct figure is 8,000 kilometers. This error appeared in print only, but we are committed to correcting it here for clarity.
Podcast Review Correction
Our podcast review misnamed the actors Helen George and Yvette Robinson's show "Mystic Mates" as "Mystics." This error was in print only, but we want to set the record straight. Accurate naming is crucial in media, and we apologize for the mistake.
