News Article Removal Service
Request removal, anonymisation or updating of harmful news articles and press coverage.
A damaging news article can stay at the top of search results for years. We help you approach publishers with respectful, well-founded requests to remove, update, anonymise or correct coverage.
Every publisher has its own policies. Many have unpublishing or correction procedures, and some will act when stories are inaccurate, outdated, defamatory or affect privacy.
Results-based pricing. For ad hoc and per-link removal or suppression work, you pay only when the agreed result is achieved.* Monthly packages and other ongoing work are priced differently, and we explain the terms before you start. Pricing is quoted by email.
*Terms apply. Platforms and hosts make the final decision, so no outcome can be guaranteed.
Will a newspaper remove an article?
Publishers usually protect accurate reporting, but may update, anonymise, add follow-ups or remove content where facts are wrong, the case has ended in your favour, or there is a legal or privacy issue. We prepare a professional request and follow up. Where publishers refuse, we turn to suppression.

Our process
Assessment
We identify the content, its source, the host and the most promising removal route.
Outreach and notices
We contact the platform, publisher or host with policy and legal grounds.
Search de-listing
Where appropriate, we request removal from Google and other search engines.
Verification
We confirm the content is gone and monitor for reappearance.
Confidential and discreet
Your case is handled privately by a small expert team. We never publish or share client details.
Expert-led, hands-on work
Real people prepare every request, appeal and notice. We do not rely on bulk automated reports.
Honest about what is possible
We tell you upfront what can be removed, what cannot, and what the alternatives are.
News Article Removal questions
How do I get a news article taken down?
Contact the publisher with a clear reason, such as factual errors or legal issues, and follow their correction process.
Can old articles about a closed case be removed?
Some publishers will update or anonymise them. It is worth asking.
Does paying a news site work?
We do not pay publishers for removal. We use legitimate requests only.
What if the publisher says no?
Suppression is the next best step.
