Request to Remove Content
Request to remove content
As in other professional and student newsrooms, La Voz News sets the bar high when considering removal of content from our website.
We student journalists strive daily to preserve the integrity of the published record, including publishing timely corrections or clarifications. We do this in the interest of the public’s right to know now—and in the future.
Take-down requests are weighed on a case-by-case basis with senior editors and the faculty adviser, and some situations may require legal guidance.
In general, La Voz News is not obliged to take down material that was lawful at the time it was published. This includes content that not defamatory nor an invasion of the individual’s privacy. The fact that someone finds it embarrassing or bothersome does not obligate La Voz News to remove it.
Additionally, material that was lawful at the time of its original publication does not become improper with the passage of time. La Voz News cannot be held liable for its failure to update past news articles.
A guiding principle for journalists in making ethical decisions, however, is to “minimize harm” on sensitive stories or when interviewing private individuals unfamiliar with prevailing journalism standards. For this reason, La Voz News reviews each request carefully before deciding whether to remove it from its site.
