Between June 29 and July 2, 2019, VOCM News aired a story that contained incorrect information about a fundraising campaign conducted by Doctors Without Borders. An article was posted to VOCM.com and shared through VOCM’s Facebook and Twitter accounts. The story warned of a possible scam involving door to door canvassers.

Doctors without Borders was in fact conducting a legitimate door to door fundraising campaign at the time and had to suspend the campaign as a result. We recognize that our reporting negatively impacted the group and its legitimate efforts to raise funds.

VOCM wishes to apologize to Doctors Without Borders and will strive to strengthen our journalistic practices going forward.
