Can a newspaper have a contest and just make it disappear?

Question

Can a newspaper have a contest, and just somehow make it disappear? Legally? Have a bunch of people sign up for this contest, and wait until the end, then boom it's just gone after voting is over? I tried calling them, and they act like they never heard of the contest! It was on a local newspapers website for two weeks...just kind of strange they made it 'disappear'.

Answer 1

In reality, anything can happen. Organizations have the right to cancel anything they host at any time they choose without informing the general public. However, it being moral is a completely different answer.

Answer 2

I guess you didn't win.The paper can do what they want.
