    Accuracy clause - explained
    The Accuracy clause seeks to protect the public from the consequences of inaccurate reporting. The clause requires publishers to take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of their news reporting. In doing so, this clause recognises that it can be difficult for news publishers to get it right every time and publish only indisputably true facts, and instead calls for all reasonable steps to be taken to ensure published reporting is as accurate as possible. The clause asks that publishers clearly distinguish between facts and opinion. While publishers are free to be partisan and share opinions, this clause ensures that this freedom is not used to misrepresent or distort the facts. If a publisher is deemed to have published an inaccuracy, it must be corrected as early as possible, and the correction must be published as prominently as the original article.
