Complaints & Editorial Review
Shaker Global News Governance & Standards
Why this page exists
A clear path for readers and subjects to raise concerns.
Submitting a Concern
Shaker Global News welcomes good-faith concerns regarding factual accuracy, attribution, fairness, conflicts of interest, copyright, privacy, labeling, or other editorial matters.
A complaint should identify the article or material involved, explain the concern clearly, and provide supporting information when available.
Review Process
SGN will seek to review substantial editorial complaints within a reasonable period, taking into account the seriousness and complexity of the issue. Review may include checking source material, consulting relevant contributors, examining documents, or seeking additional information.
Submitting a complaint does not automatically establish that published material is inaccurate or unfair, and SGN retains editorial judgment regarding the appropriate response.
Possible Outcomes
Depending on the circumstances, SGN may take no action, provide an explanation, update an article, add clarification, correct a factual error, modify labeling, or in exceptional circumstances retract or remove material.
Where a significant correction is warranted, SGN seeks to make the correction proportionate and reasonably transparent.
Good-Faith Participation
SGN encourages respectful, specific, and evidence-based communication. Complaints intended primarily to intimidate, harass, suppress legitimate reporting, or overwhelm the editorial process may be handled accordingly.
