The Chronicle aims at the utmost reliability [note 1] in the information it publishes.
In those instances when it is not absolutely certain that some event has taken place, the Chronicle indicates that the piece of information is based on rumour. But at the same time the Chronicle requests its readers to be careful and accurate in the information they provide for publication.
A number of inaccuracies occur during the process of duplicating copies of the Chronicle. These are mistakes in names and surnames, in dates and numbers. The quantity of them grows as the Chronicle is retyped again and again, and they cannot be corrected according to the context, as can other misprints.
==========================================
NOTE
On the crucial question of accuracy the Chronicle‘s record is remarkable.
Very few of the names, dates and facts which it prints are of the sort which can be checked by the editors in reference sources before publication, yet their mistakes are few. Moreover, when two copies of a given issue have reached the West the differences between them have not gone beyond points of spelling. So the standards of the typists are high, too.
(It may of course be that copies reaching the West emanate from sources not far removed from the editors, and for this reason contain few mistakes resulting from retyping).
