Episode 138: The Right to Be Forgotten

Since the beginning of journalism, news and media outlets have published
damaging, embarrassing, and even racially biased stories to provide readers
with interesting and attractive articles—whether they are true or not—and
have left these stories uncorrected in their publications. These unfair
stories have caused many to be kept from getting jobs, homes, etc., and are
constantly haunted by a past publication.

However, recently The Boston Globe has committed to giving people the
opportunity to either request a correction or removal of an article about
them that was either inaccurate or never should have been published at all.

Will this initiative become a widespread standard in the journalism
industry or will only a select few media outlets decide to take the moral
high ground in correcting past stories?

Join us this week’s episode as we discuss The Right to be Forgotten and its
impact on journalism.
