Governance

As a service of PBS KVIE, Abridged is governed by the KVIE Board of Directors, a volunteer group of community and business leaders with deep roots in the Sacramento region.

In addition to a Board of Directors, KVIE is also guided by a Community Advisory Board that advises the station on whether our programming and significant policies are meeting the specialized educational and cultural needs of the communities we serve.

Standards

We strive to publish news that is factually accurate, thoroughly vetted, and presented in context. If we discover that a story contains an error — whether factual, typographical, or contextual — we will correct it promptly.

Corrections are never hidden. We make them clear to our readers while preserving accountability for the original reporting.

How we handle corrections.

  1. Minor errors
    • Typos, misspellings, or small grammar issues that do not affect meaning may be fixed without disclosure.
    • Substantive errors will never be corrected without disclosure.
  2. Substantive errors
    • If a factual error, omission, or misleading phrase is identified, we will issue a correction note at the bottom of the article or newsletter, explaining the change and the date it was made.
    • For significant errors that may affect public understanding, we may also publish a standalone correction or editor’s note.
  3. Headlines, captions and social media
    • Errors in headlines or photo captions will be corrected in the same manner as article text.
    • If inaccurate information is shared on Abridged’s social platforms, we will update or delete the post and re-share the corrected information, noting the correction when appropriate.
  4. Reader submissions
    • Readers who spot a possible error are encouraged to email us at corrections@abridged.org
    • Every correction request will be reviewed by an editor. We will respond to readers when a correction has been made or if further clarification is needed.

Transparency and accountability

  • Corrections will always be timestamped.
  • We will maintain the original URL of a corrected article to avoid confusion.
  • If an error is significant enough to warrant broader attention, we will note the correction in our daily newsletter.
