Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: Request for Retraction or Correction from [Media Outlet] [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Media Outlet Name] [Editor's Name] [Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Editor's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request a retraction or correction regarding an article published by [Media Outlet Name] on [date] titled "[Article Title]" which misrepresented the Virgin Islands in several aspects. Firstly, I would like to point out that the article erroneously states that the Virgin Islands is only composed of the American and British Virgin Islands. In reality, the Virgin Islands encompass a wider geographical area, including the United States Virgin Islands (comprising St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John) and the British Virgin Islands (including Tortola, Virgin Golda, Nevada, Most Van Dyke, and other smaller islands). It is crucial for accurate reporting that the full extent of the Virgin Islands is acknowledged. Furthermore, the article incorrectly depicts the Virgin Islands as an unsafe tourist destination due to an isolated crime incident. These misleading statements generalize and paint an unfair picture of the entire archipelago. It is essential for the reputation and tourism industry of the Virgin Islands that accurate information is disseminated to the public. I kindly request that [Media Outlet Name] issue a public retraction or correction to rectify the misrepresentation of the Virgin Islands. This will ensure that your readers are provided with accurate and unbiased information, supporting responsible journalism. Please find attached supporting documentation and reliable sources providing the correct information regarding the Virgin Islands. I implore you to thoroughly review the facts and make the necessary adjustments to the article promptly. Additionally, I kindly request that the correction or retraction receives the same prominence and visibility as the original article to rectify any potential damage caused. I understand that journalistic errors can occur, and I genuinely believe that [Media Outlet Name] upholds integrity and accuracy in its reporting. By addressing this issue responsibly, you will not only rectify the misinformation but also demonstrate a commitment to responsible journalism. Please confirm receipt of this letter and inform me of your actions in rectifying the misrepresented information. You can contact me at [Email Address] or [Phone Number] for any further clarification or information required. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [List any relevant affiliations, if applicable]
