Talk to us
We would rather hear from you than not. A tip, a correction, a complaint, or a question about something we published — all of it reaches a person.
By telephone
(405) 260‑9966Answered by our own switchboard, not a call centre. If nobody picks up, the line takes a message and somebody listens to it.
- Press 1 — The newsroom Reporters and editors. Anything about a story we have run, or one we should.
- Press 9 — The tip line A private line with its own voicemail, for something you want us to look into.
- Press 3 — Billing Memberships, receipts and anything to do with an account.
- Press 7 — The extension Rings a reporter directly rather than a desk.
- Press 0 — The operator If none of the above is right, or you would rather just talk to somebody.
You can also text that number. Texts come to the newsroom and are read by a person; nothing is answered automatically.
By email
news@oklahomastatecapital.comThe newsroom address. Corrections, questions about a story, documents you think we should see, and anything you would rather put in writing than say aloud.
A news tip
Press 9, or write to the address above.
The tip line has its own voicemail. If you would rather we did not have your number, withhold it — a message with no way to call back is still a message, and we would rather have it than not.
There is a form as well, if that is easier.
What happens when you get in touch
- A person reads it or listens to it. Nothing here is answered by a machine.
- If you are telling us about something we got wrong, it goes to an editor, and corrections are made openly rather than quietly.
- If you are giving us a tip, you decide the terms before you tell us anything — on the record, on background, or off it. We write those terms down and we keep to them. They are set out in our creed.
- We do not sell, share or publish your contact details, and getting in touch does not sign you up to anything.
If somebody has contacted you claiming to write for this newspaper and you want to check that, every one of our writers has a page on this site listing who they are and how to reach them through the newsroom.
