right of reply
Chance to respond
Right of reply is the opportunity to respond to criticism or accusations in the same forum where they appeared.
In journalism, it often means giving someone mentioned negatively in a story a chance to comment before publication.
Some countries enshrine this as a legal right, requiring media outlets to publish responses from those they've criticized: The newspaper granted him a right of reply to address the allegations.
