Requests to modify, hide or unpublish Las Vegas Review-Journal content
The Review-Journal has published the first draft of Southern Nevada history for more than 100 years. Maintaining a complete, accessible and reliable archive is an important part of our journalistic mission. Requests to alter, remove or restrict access to published content are evaluated carefully, but the Review-Journal’s default position, other than correcting factual mistakes, is to preserve the historical record so we ensure accurate journalism remains available to the public.
Q: Does the Review-Journal remove or “take down” news articles from its website?
Only under exceptionally rare circumstances.
The Review-Journal’s website maintains a permanent online archive of its published journalism since about 2007. Articles published by the Review-Journal serve an important public purpose by documenting news events, government actions, court proceedings and other matters of public concern.
The Review-Journal does not remove, delete or “take down” accurate news articles simply because they are old, embarrassing, unfavorable or create personal hardships for the individuals mentioned in them.
The Review-Journal may consider removal of content only in extraordinary circumstances, such as significant factual errors. Later developments, such as dismissed charges, do not justify removal.
Requests to remove articles are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Approval of such requests is exceptionally rare.
—
Q: Does the Review-Journal change or revise years-old articles on its website?
Sometimes, but only in ways that accurately report the news.
The Review-Journal may update previously published articles when doing so improves the accuracy, fairness or completeness of its reporting.
Examples may include:
· Adding a significant development that hasn’t been previously reported.
· Clarifying or correcting information that was unclear or wrong.
The Review-Journal does not ordinarily revise accurate historical coverage simply because a person later objects to it or because circumstances have changed since publication.
When significant corrections or updates are made, the Review-Journal strives to be transparent with readers about those changes by noting the update at the top of the story.
—
Q: Does the Review-Journal de-link or de-index articles on its website?
No.
The Review-Journal’s policy is to make its journalism broadly accessible and searchable to online readers. As a result, the Review-Journal does not remove articles from search engine results, add “no-index” coding, alter headlines to limit search availability, or otherwise make accurate articles more difficult to locate online.
The fact that an article appears prominently in internet search results is not, by itself, a sufficient reason for de-indexing or removal.
—
Q: Is the Review-Journal required to unpublish articles about court cases that were later sealed?
No.
The fact that a court record was later sealed, expunged or otherwise restricted does not require the Review-Journal to remove or unpublish accurate reporting that was lawfully published when the information was public.
The Review-Journal has a First Amendment right to truthfully and fairly report information from public records and public proceedings. If a court later restricts or cuts off access to those records, that action does not erase the historical fact that the information was once publicly available and accurately reported. In some cases, the Review-Journal may determine that an update, clarification or editor’s note is appropriate. In other cases, it may conclude that maintaining the article unchanged best serves the public interest. However, if a criminal case is dismissed and sealed following the
completion of a defendant’s sentence, the Review-Journal will not amend or unpublish accurate coverage of the crime and court proceedings related to the case.

Q: How can I request an update or review of a published article?
Anyone seeking a correction, update or review of published content should email the Review-Journal and provide:
· A link to the article.
· The specific information being challenged.
· Documentation supporting the request.
· Contact information for possible follow-up. The email should be sent to Executive Editor Glenn Cook (gcook@reviewjournal.com), Managing Editor Carri Geer (cgeer@reviewjournal.com) and Chief Legal Officer Benjamin Lipman (blipman@reviewjournal.com). The Review-Journal will review the request in accordance with its editorial standards.
