Malta changes things without announcing them. A fee goes up, a bus route is renumbered, a bay gets a new car park and a restaurant closes for good. A site like this is wrong somewhere at any given moment. The only real question is how quickly it gets fixed.
How to report something
Use the form on any page, or the one below. You do not need to be certain. You do not need to provide a source. If a reader tells us a fare felt wrong, we go and check it. You do not need to prove anything first.
What we do with it
The process
- We check rather than assume
- A report is a prompt to verify, not proof on its own. We go back to the body that owns the fact and confirm it before touching the page.
- Typographical fixes are silent
- Spelling, a broken link, a wrong preposition. These are corrected without a note, because nobody acted differently because of them.
- Substantive fixes are marked
- Some errors change what you would have done, such as a wrong fee, date, opening time or requirement. In those cases the page carries a dated correction note.
- The verified date moves
- A corrected page is a re-checked page, so its last-verified stamp is updated to the day we confirmed the new fact.
- Nothing is quietly deleted
- We do not remove a page that turned out to be wrong and act as though it never ran.
If it is about you or your business
If Malta Central says something inaccurate about a business you run, tell us and we will correct it on the same basis as anything else. Two things are worth stating clearly. A correction is free and always will be. A factually accurate statement is not corrected just because it is unflattering. If you believe we have published something untrue about you, tell us what is wrong and what the correct position is. We will review it.
The editorial policy explains how facts are sourced and what the last-verified stamp means. It also sets out the line between editorial and advertising.
