Local newspapers are deleting old crime stories to give ex-convicts a second chance.

This movement was spearheaded in 2018 by Chris Quinn , an editor at Cleveland.com , who founded a “right to be forgotten” edict for his publication.

Each publication has their own standards as to what stories get taken down and which ones remain online.
