Right of Reply Policy
Capitalistme offers relevant individuals and organisations a reasonable chance to respond when criticism, allegations, or substantially disputed factual context are central to a reported story.
When We Seek a Response
If a story includes criticism, allegations, serious factual disagreement, or materially harmful claims about a person or institution, Capitalistme intends to request a response before publication when reasonably possible and when doing so does not interfere with necessary reporting, safety concerns, or legitimate public‑interest journalism.
How Outreach Is Normally Handled
The approach and timing of outreach may vary depending on the story. Capitalistme may reach out to a subject or their representative by email, telephone, publicly available contact channels, legal counsel, or other reasonable methods based on the nature of the allegation and the urgency of publication. A reasonable opportunity to reply does not always mean an unlimited window. Rapidly developing stories may require shorter response periods than feature articles or investigative pieces.
What to Submit If You Seek a Reply or Correction
If you are contacting Capitalistme regarding published or upcoming coverage, please provide the article URL or headline, the specific claim you challenge, the factual basis for your objection, any supporting documents you wish to have examined, and your preferred contact information for follow‑up. Broad denials lacking specificity are less helpful than a direct identification of what is claimed to be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or outdated.
Post‑Publication Responses
After publication, any individual or organisation that believes context is missing or that material is factually incorrect may reach out to the newsroom. Valid responses may result in a clarification, correction, update note, subsequent coverage, or no change if the original reporting remains supported. Capitalistme may publish or summarise a substantive response when it meaningfully assists readers in understanding the disagreement or the evidentiary record.
What This Policy Does Not Guarantee
A request for a right of reply does not guarantee publication of a full statement, removal of accurate reporting, or advance approval of an article by the subject of that article. It does require the newsroom to review the request in good faith, examine it against the available evidence, and respond in accordance with its editorial standards and corrections process.
