The Herald’s online archives are a history of the Brown community. We will not alter the archives for any reason unless a story contains factual errors. In that case, we will change the incorrect information in the body of the story and add a note indicating what has been changed and the reason for the change. We also will not take steps to prevent a story’s inclusion in a search engine nor to prevent a specific search term from finding a given story, as these measures reduce the usefulness of The Herald’s archives to the community as a whole.
Changing deadnames and pronouns
Upon receiving a request from a transgender or nonbinary individual to replace their deadname and/or change their pronouns featured in past work on The Herald’s website, we will make the gender-affirming change(s) online in a timely manner without a correction or editors’ note attached marking the change. If you would like to request a deadname or pronoun change on our website, please reach out to herald@browndailyherald.com.
