About contacting CNY Signal

CNY Signal is an independent local news and public safety information service based in Syracuse, New York. We cover Onondaga County and the surrounding Central New York region, from the city itself out through the suburbs and towns we report on every week. Messages sent through this page go straight to the newsroom inboxes listed above, and a human reads every one. We typically respond within 1 to 2 business days, and corrections requests are acknowledged faster, usually within 48 hours.

News tips. If you saw something happening in Central New York, or you know about a story we should be covering, use the tip topic on the form. Tell us what you saw, where, and when. You do not need to have every detail. We verify tips against dispatch records, official notices, and named sources before anything publishes, and we never publish a tipster's name or contact information.

Corrections and accuracy. If we got something wrong, we want to know. Every correction is handled under the process on our corrections page, logged publicly with a date, and fixed in place with a note. This applies to articles, alert entries, and anything else we publish.

Privacy and removal requests. Our coverage draws on public safety radio traffic, and we apply redaction rules so that civilian names, exact street addresses, phone numbers, and other direct identifiers stay out of what we publish, and ages of minors are generalized. If something identifying you or a family member appears on the site and you want it reviewed, choose the corrections topic and say so plainly. Privacy review requests are treated with priority.

Advertising and sponsorship. Local businesses can reach Central New York readers through the packages on our advertise page. Sponsorship never influences editorial coverage, and sponsored placements are always labeled as such.
