Editorial Independence Notice

Purchasing wire distribution does not affect, pause, or alter active DFP reporting. DFP maintains full editorial independence on all investigations. The Investigation Response tier gives organizations a formal, archived voice alongside our coverage — it does not constitute a retraction, correction, or editorial endorsement. DFP editors may add a brief journalistic context note to any release at their discretion.
