An article published on the evening of Monday, April 28, contained information about Cole Hanson’s City Council campaign that was not independently verified. The primary source of the piece was the Midway Monitor’s initial coverage, which the reporting staff had not cross referenced during interviews. The executive staff of the Oracle decided to retract the article, as upon further investigation, it was found that the reporting in the piece did not meet the Oracle’s standards for verifications — the staff must correct misinformation and minimize harm to protect the community it represents.
