Frequently asked questions

Answers about accounts, publishing, moderation, corrections, and support.

accounts

How are author accounts approved?

An administrator reviews each author application before newsroom access is granted.

moderation

How do I report false information?

Use the Report this story control on the article page. The moderation team can investigate and record a resolution.

publishing

Does every story publish immediately?

No. Author stories enter an editorial review queue. Editors may approve, schedule, request changes, or reject them.
