In online news, stories live forever. The tipsy photograph of you at the college football game? It\u2019s there. That news article about the political rally you were marching at? It\u2019s there. A charge for driving under the influence? That\u2019s there, too. But what if... it wasn\u2019t?\nSeveral years ago a group of journalists in Cleveland, Ohio, tried an experiment that had the potential to turn things upside down: they started unpublishing content they\u2019d already published. Photographs, names, entire articles. Every month or so, they met to decide what content stayed, and what content went. In this episode from 2019, Senior Correspondent Molly Webster takes us inside the room where the editors decided who, or what, got to be deleted. And we talk about how the \u201cright to be forgotten\u201d has spread and grown in the years since. It\u2019s a story about time and memory, mistakes and second chances, and society as we know it.\nOur newsletter comes out every Wednesday.
