Correcting the record
Trinity Laurino
Executive Director
Thank you to everyone who joined us for LkldNow’s 10-year celebration — and to our candid and inspiring speakers Barry Friedman, Ana Wood-Rogers, and David Bunch!
Our 2024 guest, Gilbert King, returns to Lakeland tonight for Florida Southern’s free lecture series to discuss the book version of his Bone Valley podcast. At a reader’s urging, we recently reexamined our reporting on the Leo Schofield case and issued a correction to an article after new facts surfaced through King’s research.
One strength of being a digital publication is the ability — and responsibility — to correct the record, whether it’s a small typo or a significant error. In an age when articles live online forever, we believe accuracy demands ongoing accountability.
Issuing a correction shouldn’t be a source of shame. It’s proof that we’re willing to learn, adjust, and uphold the trust our readers place in us. Also, we appreciate it when you to let us know anytime you see something in LkldNow that looks like an error in fact, spelling, grammar, etc. Email us at newstips@lkldnow.com. We try hard to get it right the first time, but we also acknowledge that sometimes mistakes happen.
