In April, The Dispatch began a new practice of rounding up corrections issued each month. You can read that introductory post here, but the short version is this: We’re proud of our editorial standards, we know we won’t be perfect, and when we fall short, we want to own it—clearly and transparently.
Below are the corrections and clarifications we made in September. As always, our mistakes are rarely the fault of any one person, but the responsibility for what we publish rests with me. If you see something we missed, please email us at corrections@thedispatch.com.
- On September 1, we updated an edition of The Morning Dispatch to note that a new 15 percent fee on revenue Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices generate by selling chips to Chinese companies only applies to certain high-end chips.

Prior to joining the company in 2019, he worked in public affairs at Hamilton Place Strategies and market research at Echelon Insights.
