Corrections and Reader Comments

When a mistake is made, either in fact or context, LPM is committed to publicly acknowledging the error and publishing or broadcasting corrections in a timely and consistent manner.

LPM gathers information with the intent of making it available for public consumption. LPM does not “unpublish” or remove information from its public channels, except in cases of egregious error or when legally required to do so. LPM will generally reject public requests to remove or alter information and cases of “source remorse.”

LPM encourages its readers to comment on and share their perspectives by commenting on its stories, either directly or through social media. Posts that are libelous, inflammatory, used to market a company/product or are otherwise off-topic are typically removed in order to promote constructive discussion about local business issues.

Complaints or concerns should be emailed to editor@losspreventionmedia.com. LPM endeavours to quickly respond, but this might take up to three business days.
