One inbox for a masthead of three. Corrections get read first.
Three people work on Hiddencorners and there is one address between us, rather than a wall of departments that all land in the same place. Everything arrives with the editor; corrections go to Tony Hall, who does the verification pass, and anything about the illustrations goes to Tumnhean. Put the topic in the subject line and it will reach the right person.
What to put in the subject line
- Correction — you have been somewhere we cover and we have it wrong. This is the most useful message you can send. Include the page and the sentence. See the corrections policy.
- Tip — a place that would score high on the Silence Index: hard to reach, genuinely unresolved, genuinely quiet. If publicity would harm it, say so and we will not publish it.
- Editorial — anything about how the journal is researched, sourced or written.
- Privacy — data access, correction or deletion requests. See the privacy policy.
- Advertising — this site carries display advertising served by Google AdSense. Advertising has no influence on what is covered or what is concluded; the separation is set out in the editorial policy and on the disclosure page.
Response
This is not a company with a support desk and we are not going to promise you a service level we cannot keep. Corrections are read first and acted on quickly. Everything else gets read when it gets read.
No contact form, deliberately
There is no contact form on this page. A form that is not wired to a working backend is worse than no form at all — it silently swallows messages and lets a site pretend to be more established than it is. When there is a form here, it will work.
