Corrections needed by someone who knows how...

1. The information in the box on the right side of the page is out-of-date. It changes three times each year - each semester. Actually, since it is unknown who is updating this section, I would suggest that all of the editor positions be eliminated from this box. 2. In the area where it talks about Patricia Carey becoming general manager... Please add: In 2019, Shaun O'Connor, who had worked at the paper beginning as a student in 2009, succeeded Carey as general manager. 3. This part is wrong... "That same year, the paper switched from twice-weekly printing to its current daily format." Correct information: In 1962 the paper switched from twice-weekly printing to five times a week. In fall of 2017 the paper went to three days a week and then in March of 2020 it began it's current weekly publication schedule. 4. Include verbiage when talking about the purchase of The High Springs Herald to include the reasoning that it was purchased to provide a source of additional intern experiences for journalism and advertising students. 5. To clarify: change - "In May 2016 The Alligator moved operations from its former location on University Avenue, where it had operated for over 30 years, to the Gainesville Sun's building." to be "In May 2016 The Alligator moved operations from its former location on University Avenue, where it had operated for over 30 years, to lease office space in the Gainesville Sun's building. We don't want it to be misconstrued (as it has been by some people) that we are now PART OF the Sun. 6. Under the Rivals and related publications section -- The last two paragraphs: The "readership program" is no longer happening. And The Really Independent Florida Crocodile is now defunct. I am unsure of the dates for these.

If someone more knowledgeable in Wikipedia could update this page to include these changes, it would be much appreciated. It is important to us to have correct information about our organization in this article. Please contact me if you have any questions or if I can provide any assistance with this. Thank you.

Hi there.

I agree removing the editor positions from this box until we find references we can cite to support it.
Do you have any source for Carey becoming general manager, or about O'Connor starting the position in 2019? I'm assuming it's been published in some kind of article somewhere.
Do you have a source that explains the switch from twice-weekly to daily format?
Do you have a source about The High Springs Herald being purchased? I'm sure it was announced in an article somewhere.
Do you have a source about the office move? Since you think the current wording is misleading, if we can't find a source it may make sense to remove it from the article as it isn't hugely relevant to have an unsourced mention of the office space.
Any source you can find here would be valuable.
