At Scripps News Daily, we believe in being honest, fair, and responsible with everything we share. Our goal is to keep our site trustworthy, helpful, and safe for people everywhere. These guidelines show the values we follow and ask others to follow when they send in or check content.
We kindly ask all writers, editors, and partners to stick to these rules. Whether you are writing a guest article or helping review stories, we expect everyone to act with honesty and care. These guidelines are for everyone who helps create content on our site.
What We Don’t Allow?
We do not publish anything that:
- Spreads hate or attacks people because of their race, religion, gender, nationality, or who they are
- Shows graphic or inappropriate sexual content
- Promotes violence, harm, or dangerous actions
- Copies someone else’s work without permission
- Encourages drug use or talks about illegal drugs
- Shares hacking tips or harmful instructions
- Promotes cryptocurrency fundraising or Web3 projects
- Makes false claims, uses misleading headlines, or is not honest
These rules might change as laws and what people expect change. If something breaks these rules, we can take it down anytime. This is even after it is already published.
Role of Writers and Editors
Writers can pick their own topics, but they need to follow our rules. Their work should show real ideas, not just repeat keywords or copy other blogs. Writers must not copy from others unless they clearly say where the quote comes from.
Editors decide what gets published on the site. They can ask for changes, suggest ways to improve, or say no to a piece. This is no personal, it is to keep the quality high. We can also remove any content later if it turns out to be harmful, dishonest, or does not follow our rules. If something slips through, we will fix it.
Publishing Partners’ Role
We work with many publishing partners. They need to follow the same rules when they send in or approve content. They also must make sure their teams know and follow our standards.
If a partner keeps sending low-quality or rule-breaking content, we might pause or end working with them.
How to Report Problems?
If you see something on our site that seems wrong or harmful, you can tell us. Here’s what to do:
- Give us the article title or link, and tell us exactly what part worries you.
- Explain why you think it breaks our rules.
- Send your report to: info@scrippsnewsdaily.com
Please be patient because checking reports takes time. We might need to talk to our legal team or others before deciding what to do.
When we finish reviewing, we will get back to you using the contact info you gave us.
Keeping Our Rules Up to Date
We update these guidelines now and then. As the online world and views of people change. So, do what is okay to share. We watch closely to make sure everything on our site stays honest, helpful, and respectful for everyone who writes and reads here. Scripps News Daily is built on trust. These guidelines are here to protect that trust for our readers, our writers, and the wider world.
