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.
