An online article is not considered inaccurate, or does not contain an error, simply because there have been future developments in a story after publication. However, CTV will consider newly available information to determine whether an update is necessary. In the case of an update, a specific notification to our readers is not usually necessary as a time stamp will indicate that an update has occurred.
Our archival material is very important, and in this digital age, reflects a permanent record of the information available at the time of original publication. In some exceptional cases, that material or parts of it may be substantially wrong. In these situations, we will review the material and determine whether the original story should be revised or rewritten, or whether an update, clarification or correction should be published.
The content of a significant correction or clarification and its timing and placement will be the ultimate responsibility of senior news management. Requests to remove online content: Our online journalism is part of the historical record and our archives represent our commitment to accuracy and fairness. We do not, except in very narrow circumstances, unpublish articles or video.
Source remorse or embarrassment is not a reason to unpublish. If someone changes their mind about being quoted, that is not sufficient reason to remove content from our archives. However, if there is a change in circumstances, for example, criminal charges were dropped after we had reported that a person was charged with an offence, CTV will review the new information and consider whether it is warranted to update our story to include the new facts.
If we determine that an update is appropriate, the original story will not be removed, only updated. We will only consider removal requests in very exceptional circumstances. These may include legal considerations or where the named person is facing genuine threats of physical harm.

CTV News is funded through advertising revenue and does not receive government funding or subsidies. We do not accept gifts, including paid travel, in order to avoid any conflict-of-interest or appearance thereof. When we rely on an organization for a product or access to an event, we are transparent about the relationship and note it within the relevant work.
The newsroom is insulated from advertisers and underwriters by a firewall. These codes also govern the dissemination of information and news to our readers and viewers.
These guiding principles underscore our commitment to journalism that is accurate and reliable in the public interest. As a reputable news organization in a democracy, it is the fundamental purpose of CTV News to enable Canadians to know what is happening and to clarify events so they may form their own conclusions.
This is done through accurate, fair, and relevant stories told in a clear and compelling way. Our target audience is a broad cross-section of Canadians of all ages who are interested in the world around them.
This news organization commits to do its best to publish accurate information across all of its content. We take many steps to ensure accuracy: We investigate claims with skepticism; question assumptions; challenge conventional wisdom; confirm information with subject-matter experts; and seek to corroborate what sources tell us by talking with other informed people or consulting documents. We verify content, such as technical terms, stats, etc. We may share relevant components of a story with a primary source or an outside expert to verify them.
We guide our journalists to ask the following questions when they double-check information in a quest for the truth. We welcome feedback from our readers and sources regarding the information that we publish. Contact: ctvnews. Our objective is to get everything 'on the record. We should strive to attribute all comments. We must guard against those who wish to use anonymity as a means to hide the truth, deride opponents or manipulate public opinion. But there are circumstances when permitting anonymity is necessary to obtain sensitive information vital to the public good or where the source might face harm, legal jeopardy or loss of livelihood for speaking with us.
We are committed to using bylines except in circumstances as described below, when stories are the culmination of several journalists or when they are supplied by a news agency.
It may be a collaboration based on the work of several journalists at CTV News, including and not limited to: writers, producers, reporters, trusted content from wire agencies see information below. On some pages you will see bylines from news agencies rather than CTVNews. We trust news agencies to help us cover the world as fully as possible and to adhere to the highest journalistic standards. The Canadian Press: CP has been Canada's trusted national news agency for more than years, a news source and leader in providing real-time, bilingual multimedia stories across print, broadcast and digital platforms.
Through words, photos, graphics, audio and video, more than journalists cover news stories that impact Canadians with fairness, compassion, accuracy and taste. CP, a for-profit enterprise owned jointly by three of Canada's largest media companies, gives Canadians an authentic, unbiased source, driven by truth, accuracy and timeliness.

Tools developed by the Trust Project, such as a system of trust indicators, are designed to inform the public so they can make informed news choices.
CTV News holds itself accountable to our commitment to journalistic standards. And in a time when readers are bombarded with information online, we want to make it easier for the public to understand how our journalism is produced. For these reasons, CTV News has taken several measures to enhance trust and improve transparency:. You can find more information on the Trust Project here. We believe that public feedback is not a one-way street -- that is, simply publishing your comments or letters.
Instead, we are committed to engaging with you and taking action based on your suggestions, complaints and other feedback. You may help us develop an individual story or line of coverage, answer questions that a story may raise, identify related or under-covered issues, and teach us about new and diverse sources, experts and perspectives. In line with this, we are committed to providing greater transparency about our journalism and offering regular points of contact and interaction. We believe that news organizations have a responsibility to engage with the public on the values, issues and ideas of the day, and that we have much to gain in return.

Children a 4—8 years 9—13 years 14—18 years. Adults 19—50 years: b. Increased oxidative damage [ ] Increased incidence and severity of pneumonia and other infections [ 71 , ] Decreased resistance to infection and cancer, decreased delayed-type hypersensitivity response, impaired wound healing [ 49 ].
Antioxidant properties protect leukocytes and lymphocytes from oxidative stress [ 14 ] Older people: possible reduction in incidence and duration of pneumonia [ 71 ] Children: reduced duration and severity of common cold symptoms [ ]; improved outcomes in pneumonia, malaria and diarrheal symptoms [ 9 ].
Increased susceptibility to infections, especially RTI [ 71 ] Increased morbidity and mortality, increased severity of infections, reduced number of lymphocytes, reduced lymphoid organ weight [ 49 ] Increased risk of autoimmune diseases e. Reduced acute respiratory tract infections if deficient [ 71 ].
Affects many immune functions, including number and killing activity of NK cells, neutrophil function, macrophage ability to phagocytose pathogens, growth and differentiation of B cells, decreasing number and distribution of T cells, etc. Children: Reduces all-cause mortality, diarrhea incidence and mortality, and measles incidence and morbidity in deficient children 6 month to 5 years [ 14 , 71 ]; decreased risk of morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases [ 77 ] Not beneficial in pneumonia [ 14 ].
