On Thursday, April 16, the Herald published a story with the headline “‘I won’t give up,’ former student struggles with homelessness.”

It wasn’t until Thursday evening that I became aware of a problem. Other sources close to the story had a different version of some of the information presented. A decision was made to remove the story from the Herald Web site.

The story should not have been published without further reporting. The Herald is continuing to investigate the claims that were brought to it on Thursday.

I can assure our readers that we aren’t taking this situation lightly. The Herald does its best to serves its readers and intends to continue that tradition.
