FAQ & corrections

Does the research prove institutional bias?

No. The broad deference hypothesis was not established; several manual measures ran contrary, and automated semantic findings failed validation and were suppressed.

Why boycott anyway?

Campaign interpretation A boycott is a political and relational response to trust, ethics, and newsroom practice. This campaign publishes observable exit standards while keeping its statistical claims within the evidence.

Are you saying every article is bad?

No. The site highlights counterexamples precisely because a credible critique must preserve contrary evidence.

Corrections policy

We correct factual, methodological, labeling, and accessibility errors promptly. Material corrections will identify what changed, when, and why; older data releases remain checksum-verifiable. Interpretive disagreements may receive an editor’s note or response rather than a factual correction. See the full policy.

Right of reply / contact

This static site does not collect names, email addresses, signatures, IP-derived analytics, or submissions. For launch, configure a separate campaign-controlled public issue tracker or privacy-preserving relay that does not reveal the creator. Until that mechanism is configured, no contact form is published and no false promise of private communication is made.

Conduct

Do not threaten, harass, impersonate, vandalize, interfere with reporting, or target individual student journalists. Critique published work and institutional practice.
