Independent explanatory journalism — U.S. & World

Sourced. Verified. Corrected when wrong.

THE EXPLANATORY NEWSROOM

Explaining how the systems behind the headlines actually work — in politics, business, technology, science and culture.

Get in touch

We read everything readers send us. Whether you have spotted an error, want to suggest a subject we have overlooked, or disagree with something we published, we would rather hear from you than not. Please use the appropriate route below so your message reaches the right desk quickly.

Corrections and factual errors

If you believe an article contains a factual error, this is the message we prioritise above all others. Please include the article title, the specific passage you are questioning, and, where possible, the source that supports the correction. We investigate every such report and, where an error is confirmed, we correct the article and append a dated note explaining the change. Our approach is described in full in our corrections policy.

Story tips and suggestions

Our best commissions frequently begin with a reader asking a question we had not thought to ask. If there is a system, decision, or industry you would like explained, tell us. We are particularly interested in subjects that are widely discussed but rarely laid out clearly.

If you are contacting us about sensitive information, please do not include confidential material in an initial email. Write to describe the general nature of the subject and we will respond with an appropriate way to continue the conversation.

Editorial enquiries

For questions about our editorial standards, sourcing practices, methodology on a particular piece, or requests for comment from the newsroom, contact the editorial desk. We are happy to explain how a given article was researched and which sources informed it.

Advertising and partnerships

For display advertising, sponsorship of a section or newsletter, or other commercial enquiries, please contact our commercial desk. Note that we do not sell editorial coverage, do not publish sponsored content presented as journalism, and require all commercial material to be clearly labelled. Further detail is available on our advertise page.

Permissions, syndication and reuse

Our articles are protected by copyright. Short excerpts may be quoted with attribution and a link to the original. For republication, translation, syndication, classroom use beyond fair dealing, or commercial reuse, please request permission in writing and include the article title, the intended use, and the audience.

Response times

We aim to acknowledge correction reports within one business day and to resolve them within three. Story suggestions and editorial enquiries usually receive a reply within three business days. Commercial enquiries are handled within five business days. We are a small newsroom, and while we read every message, we cannot always reply individually to general feedback. That does not mean it went unnoticed.

What we cannot help with

We do not provide individual legal, medical, tax, or investment advice, and we cannot comment on the specifics of a reader’s personal situation. Our articles are explanatory journalism, not professional advice. For matters requiring professional judgement, please consult a qualified practitioner in the relevant field.
