"ESPN is formalizing its policy for editorial corrections across its various TV, radio and magazine platforms, executive editor John Walsh said in a statement Monday.

Under the policy, ESPN says it will correct "significant errors of fact" in a "clear and timely manner, with appropriate prominence."

The public is able to suggest corrections at a new corrections page on its website.

"Accuracy is of such importance that a well-discussed plan with a clear and consistent approach will benefit everyone," Walsh said.

ESPN will post "significant factual errors" from its various media for a period of time on its website."
