EDITOR’S NOTE: In a continuing effort to ensure the accuracy and fairness of its reporting, RTO Insider has begun implementing a quote check policy for MISO stakeholder meetings.

Excluding breaking news bulletins, every story RTO Insider publishes goes through at least two editors. In addition, they are reviewed by a proofreader before being included in our weekly newsletter. However, given the complexity of the issues we cover, we have found that checking quotes with RTO officials and stakeholders allows us to provide the proper context for their comments and to catch factual errors before they appear in print.

Following its coverage of MISO stakeholder meetings, RTO Insider will submit a story draft or quotes we intend to publish to any stakeholder quoted, including MISO staff. We email such drafts the afternoon or evening following the meeting and will give all quoted until 5 p.m. ET the following day to respond with any corrections or clarifications.

We will do our best to incorporate all feedback in the published story. However, recognizing that stakeholders may have different views of what transpired at the meeting, RTO Insider retains final editorial control on what is published.

We have no higher goal than ensuring our reporting is accurate and fair. If you have any questions about our policy, or a question or complaint about our coverage, please do not hesitate to contact me.
