Case Study
How we helped a charity navigate the press complaints system following an inaccurate report.
The charity was the subject of prominent and negative report in a national Sunday newspaper regarding allegations of inappropriate spending. Although the charity was subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing, the newspaper refused to retract its original report, impacting significantly on the charity’s fund-raising efforts.
The charity engaged Alder to obtain a swift and proportionate correction to help restore its reputation. By using our knowledge of the press complaints machinery, we were able to effectively engage with the newspaper’s legal department.
This resulted in the Sunday newspaper retracting their allegations with a clear and prominent correction within days of our engagement.
