    Get Reuters articles corrected, removed or de-indexed

    We pursue correction, removal or de-indexing of Reuters stories and their syndicated copies.

    • Articles with factual errors or unsupported claims
    • Outdated stories missing later developments
    • Syndicated copies on Yahoo, MSN and partner sites
    • Copies in regional papers and portals
    • Stories containing sensitive personal details
    • Search results that surface any of the above

    Because a wire story is republished widely, the original and the copies each need handling. We assess yours free and choose the strongest route for each.

    What we remove

    Five ways we handle Reuters articles

    • Errors documented with primary sources
    • Updates after dismissal or resolution
    • Clarifications to headlines and summaries
    • Follow-up until the request is decided
    • Corrections
    • Updates
    • Editorial Complaints

    • Anonymization requests for named individuals
    • Evidence of changed circumstances
    • Counsel involved where a claim exists

    How it works

    How Reuters Article Removal Works

    1. 01

      Free Article Assessment

      We read the article, check its sources and facts, note where it is syndicated or translated and choose the strongest route to removal, correction or de-indexing.

    2. 02

      Evidence Preparation

      We assemble primary records that show what is wrong or outdated, such as filings, court records and correspondence, and preserve every copy of the story.

    3. 03

      Editorial, Legal and Data-Protection Escalation

      We submit documented requests through Reuters’s complaints or editorial process and work with counsel when a legal or data-protection claim is warranted.

    4. 04

      De-Indexing and Follow-Up

      We submit search-engine requests where they qualify, follow up until resolved and monitor for copies and reposts.

    We rely on evidence and lawful routes, never on pressure or payment to a publisher.

    What we get removed, and the hard cases we take on

    What we get removed

    • Articles corrected where the facts are wrong
    • Stories updated with later developments
    • Details anonymized where the circumstances support it
    • Syndicated copies updated after the source changes
    • Pages de-indexed from Google and Bing where they qualify
    • Sensitive personal details removed from copies

    Hard cases we take on

    • Accurate wire reporting: we pursue updates, clarifications and de-indexing
    • Wide syndication: we trace and follow every partner copy
    • Stories with legal risk: we build the argument with counsel
    • Old stories ranking for your name: we combine de-indexing with new authoritative results
    • Copies in several countries: we match each to the law that applies

    Why Our Removal Approach Works

    We build the case the outlet, its partners and search engines act on.

    • Evidence-led requests, not generic demands
    • Counsel involved where claims exist
    • Specialists who handle these cases daily
    • Syndicated copies tracked and followed up
    • Confidential handling and follow-up until resolved

    A wire story spreads, so we treat the original and the downstream copies as one case. Where an article contains inaccurate or sensitive information, we pursue the editorial, legal and data-protection routes that fit, then push the result out of search. We are an independent service with no relationship with Reuters.

    Typical scenarios

    Situations We Handle on Reuters Articles

    01

    Story With a Factual Error

    A Reuters article misstates a company’s legal status and ranks for its name.

    → We document the correct facts from primary records and submit a correction request through the editorial process.

    Our goal: Article corrected and the update reflected in syndicated copies

    02

    Old Story Missing the Outcome

    A years-old article about an investigation does not mention that it was later closed.

    → We request an update from the outlet and file outdated-content requests with Google.

    Our goal: Article updated or de-indexed so current facts appear in search

    03

    Copies Across Partner Sites

    The same story appears on several aggregators and regional sites.

    → We make the request at the source and follow it through to each copy.

    Our goal: Copies removed or updated once the source changes

    FAQ

    Reuters article removal questions

    Can you get a Reuters article removed?

    We pursue correction, update, removal or de-indexing through the outlet’s editorial process, its downstream partners, the courts and the search engines. Articles with factual errors, outdated facts or sensitive personal details are the strongest cases. We assess yours free and choose the route most likely to work.

    What about copies on Yahoo, MSN and other sites?

    Wire stories are distributed to partners, so we handle the original and then each copy. Once the source is corrected or withdrawn, we follow it through to the partner pages and file search-engine requests for any that remain.

    Can an old Reuters story be updated or anonymized?

    We request updates, clarifications and, where the circumstances support it, anonymization, with documents that show how the facts changed. Outlets decide these requests on their editorial standards, so we build the strongest evidence for each.

    Can Reuters content be removed from Google?

    We file de-indexing requests for qualifying cases, such as outdated content, personal information, court orders and, where they apply, right-to-be-forgotten routes. De-indexing removes the page from search results and is the layer that locks in the outcome.

    Do you have a relationship with Reuters?

    No. We are an independent service. We submit your request through the outlet’s public editorial and complaints routes, and through legal and data-protection channels where they apply.

    Do you guarantee removal?

    Our fee is tied to results: no removal, no fee. Every decision is the publisher’s, the platform’s or the court’s, so we assess your case first and confirm the strongest route and the terms in writing before we start.

    What mistakes weaken a news article removal request?

    Avoid these mistakes and your request is far stronger: demanding removal because a story is unflattering rather than showing what is wrong; threatening legal action you will not follow through; offering payment to a publisher; and contacting only the original while copies stay online. Send us the links instead and we will build one request with evidence.
