Contact the journalist of the new article with the contradicting article? Letters to the editor? Submit an opinion article?

I've contacted multiple journalists over the years about errors in their articles and I've generally found them responsive and thankful.

Sometimes it's not even their fault. One time a journalist told me the incorrect information was unknowingly added by an editor.

I get that it's popular on HN and the internet to bash news media, and that there are a lot of legitimate issues with the media, but my personal experience is that journalists do actually want to do a good job and respond accordingly when you engage them (in a non-antagonistic manner).

The incidents I’m referring to aren’t “errors” though.

If a major article claims that certain groups don’t exist, while the same newspaper published a detailed report about those exact groups and how dangerous they are just two years earlier, it’s not because the journalist wasn’t able to do a 10-second Google search where their own paper’s article would have been among the top results.
