Before publication, editors and other staff members have worked to ensure the validity, newsworthiness and ethics of publishing each piece. For these reasons, the Editors will not take down past articles except in extraordinary circumstances. The Editors will respond to each request and determine action. Content will only change if it is found to be false, libelous, dangerous or insensitive. If a story is altered, we will make it clear to the readers what edits were made. Corrections The Falcon is committed to providing accurate and reliable news and information to our readers. We understand that mistakes can happen, and we take any error seriously. If we become aware of a factual error, we will correct it as soon as possible by updating the online story and will prominently display and label the correction in the story itself. The Falcon believes transparency and accountability are essential to the building and maintaining trust with our readers, and encourages readers to report any corrections to the Editors-in-Chief. Letters to the Editor The Falcon encourages readers to submit Letters to the Editor on any topic of their interest, including in response to Falcon stories. All readers are permitted to send Letters to the Editor by emailing a draft version of the story to the Editors-in-Chief. The Falcon reserves the right to decline letters and edit letters for length, clarity and grammar. Letters cannot be returned and become the sole property of The Falcon upon submission. Advertising The Falcon is a great place to reach the school and local community. 1,300 copies of each print edition are printed and distributed to Saratoga High students and faculty, and over 600 community members are subscribed to the weekly newsletter.
