The Reader Center is a newsroom initiative that is helping The Times build deeper ties with our audience.

Sewell Chan, our International News Editor, London, has responded to readers who voiced criticism over an aspect of how we covered the death of a Swedish journalist.

The case of Kim Wall, a Swedish journalist who disappeared this month in Copenhagen and whose death was confirmed on Wednesday, has drawn a lot of interest from our readers and our staff. Sadly, a number of my colleagues knew Ms. Wall, who graduated from Columbia Journalism School in 2013 and had written for The New York Times.

This has been a disturbing and fast-moving story. And some readers expressed disappointment in how we handled one aspect of it.
