Content Removal Policy

While Elon News Network is committed to informing the community on all types of events, we also recognize the long-lasting effects a story may have on a person.

In response, ENN has created a review board of organization leaders and faculty advisers to review content that has been petitioned to have content changed. The board will meet at least once a semester to review all requests.

The content removal petition form is available online, and should meet the following requirements:

  • The petition must be filed by the person directly involved, and not be made on behalf of an individual.
  • Three years must have passed from the content’s publication.
  • The form above must be filled out and submitted. Any relevant documents that the review board should be made aware of should be submitted in the form.
