COMMENT | When you read news articles that are lacking in context, missing important details, or just plain sloppy, what can you do?
You could email the comment section or the reporter directly. Or you could email the editor.
(For example, the New York Times provides a Reader Center where its journalists explain the journalistic process).

What if your complaint gets nowhere? This is where a media council could help.

If your complaint is accepted, the council may request that the news outlet publish it for the public interest. If your complaint is rejected, you may ask the council why and how it came to its decision.
That is how media councils around the world operate.
