Who you are writing to

You are writing to a newsroom that started in Ojodu LCDA and has stayed there. Ten years in Nigerian journalism, a local desk, a Lagos desk, a national desk and a world desk — and our own community work in schools and estates. A person reads your message, not a queue.

Before you write

A few things worth knowing before you send. Coverage requests get a reply within one working day; tips get read the same day. Commissioned work is invoiced before it starts. If you are asking about a correction, quote the report and the line, and we will check it against our notes.

• How fast will I hear back?Coverage requests and advertising enquiries get a reply within one working day. News tips are read the same day, though we may not always be able to confirm a story.
• Do you pay for tips?No. We do not pay for tips or interviews — we protect the person instead. If a story needs a reporter on the ground, we will say so plainly.
• Can I correct a report?Yes. Tell us the headline and the exact line, with what the right version is. We check, correct and date the correction on the report itself.
