| "Several days in advance of publication, we contacted Televisa about the documents and outlined the allegations contained within them to provide them with the opportunity to respond. We offered to go into greater detail about the information in the documents, but they declined to respond without seeing some of the files. We also sought a categorical response to the general question of whether the company ever sold any kind of coverage on its channels to political clients, as well as clarification of the relationship between Radar Servicios Especializados and Televisa. Again, Televisa declined to answer these questions without first seeing the files. We now have authorisation from the source to share and publish the files, and have done so online. | "Several days in advance of publication, we contacted Televisa about the documents and outlined the allegations contained within them to provide them with the opportunity to respond.
