Journalists & Media Professionals
Build relationships before a pattern becomes a headline.
DAC wants relationships with journalists covering consumer affairs, business, technology, retail, gig work and public-interest issues. The goal is credible evidence first, responsible public communication second.
Questions that matter
What DAC wants to understand.
- 01
What documentation makes a consumer pattern reportable?
- 02
What verification standards should DAC adopt?
- 03
How should affected companies be approached for response?
- 04
How can individual privacy be protected in public reporting?
Participation model
A relationship first. Permissions separately.
DAC does not equate professional identity with access. Approved members receive only the Network capabilities appropriate to the relationship and specific DAC engagements.
Connect
Submit a professional application or the sector-specific contact pathway.
Review
DAC screens the relationship and requests additional information where necessary.
Verify
Credentials, identity or organizational information may be checked where appropriate.
Engage
Approved participants receive controlled Network Hub access and explicit assignments.
Participation boundary
DAC does not treat unverified allegations as established fact.
Next step
Media Inquiry
Media enquiries remain separate from Network permissions and consumer case access.
