Content Removal Requests

Last updated: July 2026

We take removal requests seriously and balance them against the public interest in accurate, available local news. This policy explains how to ask and how we decide.

How to request removal

Submit your request through our Contact page, including the URL, the specific content, and why you are asking us to remove or update it.

What we generally honor

  • Factual errors — corrected under our Corrections Policy.
  • Content that is unlawful, infringing, or poses a genuine safety risk.
  • Sensitive personal information published without justification.
  • Copyright issues — handled under our DMCA process.

What we generally do not remove

Accurate reporting on matters of public interest — including public records, official actions, and newsworthy events — is not removed simply because a subject would prefer it were not published. In some cases we may add context or an update instead of removing content.

Our review

An editor reviews each request and responds. Decisions weigh accuracy, public interest, potential harm, and legal obligations.
