Right of reply

Last updated 9 October 2026

If we report on you or your organisation, you have the right to respond. Before we publish a story that makes a serious claim about someone, we try to contact them and include their side.

How to reply

  1. Email hello@behindthepaddock.com with "Right of reply" in the subject.
  2. Include the link to the article and say which part you're responding to.
  3. Send your response, up to 300 words, and tell us how you'd like to be named.

What happens next

We'll acknowledge your email within two working days. If your reply is relevant to the story, we'll add it, or a fair summary of it, to the article with a dated note. If we got something wrong, we'll also correct it under our corrections policy.
