Setting the Record Straight: OregonLive's Commitment to Accuracy

At OregonLive, our unwavering commitment to journalistic integrity and accuracy stands as the cornerstone of our mission. We understand that in the fast-paced world of news, errors can occasionally occur. When they do, we believe it is not only our duty but our privilege to promptly acknowledge, correct, and learn from them.

This Sunday, October 12th, we present our latest list of corrections, transparently addressing inaccuracies from previous publications and reaffirming our dedication to providing our readers with the most precise and reliable information possible.

Our commitment to truth is paramount, and these rectifications are a vital part of maintaining the trust you place in us.

Each correction serves as a reminder of the rigorous standards we strive to uphold in every article, every headline, and every published fact. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding these original errors may have caused and appreciate our attentive readers who help us maintain the highest levels of journalistic excellence.

Below are the corrections for Sunday, October 12th:

Correction Regarding the 'Green Valley Festival' Location (Published October 9th): An article titled "Green Valley Festival Draws Record Crowds" on page A3 of our October 9th edition incorrectly stated the festival's primary venue as "Riverside Park." The Green Valley Festival was, in fact, held at the "Willow Creek Fairgrounds." We apologize for this geographical misstatement and any inconvenience it may have caused attendees seeking directions based on our report.

The online version of the article has been updated to reflect the correct location.

Correction on Economic Report Statistics (Published October 8th): In our business section's analysis of local economic growth, published on October 8th, a key statistic related to Q3 job creation was misreported.

The article stated that "2,500 new jobs were added" in the technology sector. The correct figure, as confirmed by the Department of Labor, is "1,850 new jobs." We regret this error in data presentation and have rectified the online version to provide the accurate economic outlook.

Correction on Misattributed Quote in Political Commentary (Published October 7th): A political commentary piece published on October 7th, discussing the upcoming mayoral election, incorrectly attributed a quote regarding infrastructure spending to Councilwoman Elena Rodriguez.

The quote, "We must prioritize sustainable urban development for the next decade," was actually made by her opponent, Mayor David Chen, during a town hall meeting. We sincerely apologize for this misattribution, which inaccurately represented the candidates' stances, and have updated the article accordingly.

Correction on Art Exhibition Dates (Published October 6th): Our 'Weekend Guide' published on October 6th listed the closing date for the "Modern Abstractions" exhibition at the City Art Museum as "October 15th." The correct closing date for the exhibition is "October 22nd." We apologize for this error, which may have led readers to believe they had less time to visit this acclaimed exhibit.

The updated guide on our website now reflects the extended duration.

We extend our gratitude to our readers who bring these discrepancies to our attention. Your vigilance is invaluable in our ongoing pursuit of accuracy and transparency. We remain steadfast in our commitment to continuous improvement and ensuring that OregonLive remains a trusted source of news and information for our community.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
