About
Corrections Policy
If something on The LA Actor Guide is wrong, tell us and we will fix it visibly, with a dated note on the article itself. We aim to acknowledge every report within three business days, and to correct clear factual errors within five.
How to report an error
Use the contact form and include the page, what is wrong, and, if you have one, a source. If you represent a school, agency, platform, or studio we have written about, say so and we will treat your correction as authoritative on facts about your own business, once verified from your official materials.
You do not need a reason to ask. "This price changed last month" is a complete report.
What we correct
- Factual errors: prices, dates, names, addresses, rules, credits, legal or union claims. Always corrected once verified.
- Stale facts: a figure that was accurate when checked but has since changed. Corrected and re-dated.
- Missing context that makes an accurate statement misleading. Corrected.
- Unfair characterization of a business. We will re-report it and revise if the facts support you.
What we do not change
- Sourced facts you dislike. If a claim is verified from a primary source, it stays, even if it is unflattering. We will always re-check the source and correct any error in how we read it.
- Our stated opinions, when clearly labeled as opinion and grounded in the editor's experience. You are welcome to disagree on the record.
- Removal of a business from an article because coverage is unwelcome. Facts reported accurately are not removed on request.
- Anything in exchange for payment, links, advertising, or the promise of any of them. A correction is free and unconditional, or it is not a correction.
How corrections appear
We do not fix errors silently. When a correction changes an article's meaning, the article carries a dated note at the bottom saying what was wrong and what it now says. The updated date on the page changes. Significant corrections stay visible permanently; we do not quietly delete our mistakes.
Small mechanical fixes, like a typo or a broken link, are made without a note. The distinction: if a reader could have acted on the wrong version, it gets a visible note.
Our timeline
| Step | Target |
|---|---|
| We acknowledge your report | Within 3 business days |
| Clear factual error corrected | Within 5 business days |
| Disputed or complex claim re-reported | Within 10 business days, with an answer either way |
This is a small independent publication with one editor, so these are honest targets rather than a service guarantee. If something is urgent, say so in the message.
Proactive verification
We do not wait to be told. Every article carries a "last verified" date, prices and platform costs get re-checked quarterly, and union and legal claims get re-checked at least twice a year and whenever a contract or law changes. The standards behind that cadence are in our editorial standards.
If you are a school, agency, or platform
Facts about your business come from your own published materials wherever possible. If we got something wrong, your official page is the fastest fix: send it and we will match it. If your prices or programs have changed, we would rather hear it from you than have an actor find out the hard way.
Note that the LA Acting Schools directory is a separate site with its own listing, claim, and correction process. Corrections about a school's directory listing belong there. Corrections about something we said in a guide belong here.
