Accuracy matters to SFist. If you believe an article contains a factual error, please tell us. We review correction requests against the article's reporting and available source material.
How to request a correction
Use our contact page and include the article URL, the specific statement you believe is wrong, the correct information, and any supporting source or documentation. Clear, specific requests help us review the issue quickly.
What happens next
An editor will evaluate the request. If we confirm a factual error, we will correct it promptly. A material correction will include a note explaining what changed. Minor typographical, spelling, formatting, or link repairs that do not change the meaning may be fixed without a separate note.
Updates and clarifications
News develops. We may add new reporting, responses, documents, or context after publication. Articles display an updated timestamp when they are materially revised. A clarification may be added when the original wording was accurate but could reasonably be misunderstood.
Removal requests
As a general rule, SFist does not remove accurate published reporting simply because circumstances or preferences have changed. We will consider requests involving safety, privacy, legal obligations, or exceptional harm individually, while preserving the integrity of the public record.
