The Guardian newspaper has issued a series of corrections and clarifications to previously published articles, addressing factual inaccuracies and providing updated information for its readers.
Substantial Correction on Water Company Charges
A significant amendment concerns an article published on 29 January, which reported that water regulator Ofwat had granted companies permission to charge customers a record £104 billion between 2025 and 2030 to fund maintenance and infrastructure upgrades. The publication now clarifies that this figure was incorrect. In fact, only half of this substantial amount will be directly paid for by customers through their water bills. The correction provides important context for households in England and Wales facing rising utility costs.
Film Soundtrack Information Updated
Another correction addresses cultural reporting. A piece in the G2 section on 26 January about the film The History of Sound incorrectly stated that the soundtrack album was already available. The Guardian now confirms that the soundtrack for this particular film has not yet been released, correcting the earlier misinformation for film enthusiasts and music followers.
Additional Articles Receiving Amendments
The publication has also made amendments to several other recent articles, including:
- A profile piece about Alex Pretti, a nurse killed by federal agents, featuring reflections from family and friends
- Reporting on Major League Soccer's plans to reduce Spanish-language broadcast talent on Apple TV by approximately a quarter
- Analysis of diplomatic relations concerning a visit by Keir Starmer to China
- Coverage of a Russian family's deportation from the United States to Costa Rica
- Reporting on Mexico's president describing the cancellation of an oil shipment to Cuba as a sovereign decision
- Financial advice columns about pension protection during turbulent economic times
