Report a factual error
USVI News welcomes specific, source-supported corrections to editorial material, automated updates, directory records, and other information published on the site.
Send a correction request
Email editorial@usvinews.com with “Correction request” in the subject line.
- Include the exact URL of the story, post, profile, or page.
- Quote or identify the specific statement you believe is wrong.
- Explain what the correct information is and how it can be verified.
- Attach or link to a reliable document, recording, data source, or first-hand contact when available.
- State your relationship to the subject so the desk can evaluate context and possible conflicts.
Review and response
The editorial desk should review the original sourcing, the evidence supplied, and any additional records needed to resolve the question. A request is not accepted or rejected solely because it comes from a subject of coverage, an anonymous source, or a person who disagrees with the report.
USVI News does not promise a fixed response time. Urgent safety errors, mistaken identity, materially incorrect allegations, and active misinformation should receive priority.
How changes are described
A correction fixes a factual error. A clarification makes accurate material easier to understand. An update adds later developments. When a change materially alters a reader's understanding, the page should carry a visible note describing the substance of the change. Minor typographical or formatting repairs may be made without a note.
Community and outside-publisher content
For a member post or comment, use the attached report control when available so moderators receive the correct content identifier. For an affiliate article, USVI News can correct its own headline, summary, attribution, or presentation; a claimed error in the underlying reporting may also need to be addressed by the original publisher linked from the article.
Removal and privacy requests
A correction request is different from a request to remove accurate material. Removal, de-indexing, and privacy requests are evaluated based on identity, safety, public interest, rights, source obligations, and applicable technical or legal constraints. Removal is not automatic, and deleting a public page may not immediately remove copies held by search engines, archives, or other parties.
