It is what we do with the news that sets us apart from the rest of the world wide web, not necessarily what news items we post. So get busy and submit
news and comments relevant to this community, put your own spin on it and above all get involved in your followup news discussions.
Limit the copy paste source material.
News Submission Form Link
From News Submissions Guidelines Found Below The Submission Form:
"
Breaking News: This form is for the submission of breaking news articles that are no older than 48 hours.
Immediate Posting: News submissions are now immediately added to the board for discussions. Please make sure your submission is unique, and
check the board to ensure the story you plan to submit is not already discussed.
Headline: Please use the original story headline from your source. If the headline is biased or otherwise inappropriate, provide a descriptive
headline that is accurate and reflects the article you're submitting. Submissions with inaccurate, biased or otherwise deceptive headlines may be
removed.
Posting Your Opinion: Use the comments field for your opinion, spin, or other commentary on the news article. Opinions posted in the snippet
section may cause your submission to be deleted.
Variety of Sources: Most important news stories have multiple sources of coverage. It's a good idea to provide our members with a deeper
information experience by providing additional links to other sources covering your story.
Related Threads: Many times, there are threads on ATS that provide a historical or preliminary backdrop related to the subject of the news
story you're submitting. It helps our members understand a deeper context if you find a few older threads and include those with your submission.
Points: You will no longer receive a points bonus for creating a submission in the news forum, however, you will gain more points from replies
to your news thread than any other ATS forum.
Quality: As always, there are more strict expectations of quality authorship and civility within the threads of our Breaking News Forum."
