As a member contributing news content to our platform, we appreciate your dedication to sharing valuable information with our audience. To maintain the high quality and integrity of our platform, we have established the following editorial guidelines:

Ensure that all information provided in your news articles is accurate and well-researched.
Cite reliable sources and attribute information to the appropriate sources where necessary.

Submit original content that has not been published elsewhere. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
If you reference content from external sources, give proper credit and use quotes when necessary.
Relevance:
Focus on topics that are relevant to the Cambridge Network's audience and align with our core interests.
Avoid promotional content or overly biased articles.
Language and Tone:
Use clear, concise, and professional language.
Maintain a neutral tone, especially in news reporting, to present information objectively.
Refrain from using offensive, discriminatory, or inappropriate language.
Fact-Checking:
Double-check all facts and figures before publishing. Verify the accuracy of information to prevent errors.

Add relevant images, videos, or multimedia to complement your content. Respect Copyright and Intellectual Property:
Do not use copyrighted material without proper authorisation:
Obtain the necessary permissions when using images, videos, or other media in your articles. Many images found on the internet are subject to copyright. It is imperative that you have the correct permission to use an image on the Cambridge Network website. Fines can be imposed retrospectively, even if you believe the image is available 'Royalty Free', and merely removing the image later is not an option to evade such fines.
Editorial Discretion:
The Cambridge Network reserves the right to accept, reject, edit, or remove content at our discretion.
Failure to adhere to these editorial guidelines may result in the rejection or removal of your content from the Cambridge Network Website. We value your contributions and cooperation in maintaining the credibility and quality of our platform.
