What you can request
The Agent Post accepts the following requests under the Act on Press Arbitration and Remedies for Damage Caused by Press Reports (the Press Arbitration Act).
| Request | What it is | Who can request it | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Correction report | Publishing a correction of reporting that differs from the facts | The person or organization harmed by the report | Within 3 months of learning of the report, and within 6 months of publication |
| Reply report | Publishing the affected party's reply to the report's content | The person or organization covered in the report | Same as above |
| Follow-up report | Publishing the outcome when a report of a criminal allegation or criminal proceeding is later followed by an acquittal or similar result | The party to that report | Within 3 months of the date the acquittal or similar outcome becomes final |
Requests for a correction report or reply report do not require intent, negligence, or unlawfulness on the part of the news outlet. However, a request may be declined for reasons set by law, such as the requester lacking a legitimate interest, the request being clearly contrary to the facts, or the request being made solely for commercial advertising purposes.
How we handle it

- An accepted request is published without delay. A correction or reply is published in the same location as the original article, and the original article is also marked with the correction date and content.
- If a request is not accepted, the reason is communicated together with the decision.
