The public record belongs to all of us. Once something is published in it, journalists can amend its contents only in limited circumstances, guided by professional and ethical judgment.
Most newspapers don't have a policy on the right to be forgotten like this. Ours is based on materials from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and works in information and journalistic ethics. We are required by our policy to write back to you with a decision within 14 days of the date of your application.
