It is the policy of the City Paper to be transparent about errors. We seek to correct factual errors in our reports as well as in a prominent place in our print edition and on a page on our website. It’s inevitable: mistakes will happen. It’s what we do after those mistakes that should define our character and reputation.

Editor’s Note: Oct. 14, 2019
Our print edition (Vol I — No. 1) contains two embarrassing errors which the City Paper deeply regrets: the dateline is incorrect on page 8, and the e-mail address at the end of our masthead is also incorrect. Editor’s notes are generally used to acknowledge a journalistic lapse (other than a factual error), and while that isn’t the case here, I still chose to acknowledge the errors in a note because of their nature and because they appear in our debut print edition. I am also signing my name to this note because I take full responsibility for the errors. I offer no excuses. The errors are mine and mine alone.
We will get better. Our news report and our various products will continue to improve as our resources grow. I deeply appreciate all of our readers’ patience as we work hard to earn and maintain your trust.
