Reader Engagement Policy | GCShorts

At GCShorts, we believe journalism is a two-way conversation between our newsroom and our readers. Our Reader Engagement Policy is designed to ensure that our audience not only receives credible news but also has meaningful opportunities to interact, share opinions, and contribute to the news process.

Encouraging Constructive Dialogue

We welcome respectful, relevant, and constructive comments on our articles. While we encourage diverse perspectives, we moderate discussions to ensure they remain free from hate speech, personal attacks, misinformation, and spam. Comments that violate our guidelines may be edited or removed to maintain a safe and respectful space for all readers.

Responding to Feedback

We value every reader’s feedback — whether it’s a suggestion, correction, or story idea. Our editorial team reviews all incoming messages sent to 📧 gcshorts.com@gmail.com and responds as quickly as possible. For factual concerns, our Corrections Policy outlines how we handle and address errors.

Community Contributions

We encourage readers to submit story leads, eyewitness accounts, photos, or videos that may be of public interest. Submissions must be original, lawful, and free of any copyright restrictions. By sharing material with GCShorts, you grant us permission to use it across our platforms with proper credit.

Transparency in Interaction

When readers engage with our content through comments, emails, or social media, we respect privacy and never share personal information without consent. We also aim to be transparent in our responses, providing clarity where possible and explaining editorial decisions when appropriate.

Respect for Different Viewpoints

We recognize that readers come from different backgrounds and experiences. While disagreements are natural in public discourse, we expect all participants in GCShorts’ community spaces to engage respectfully and avoid discriminatory language or harassment.

Building Long-Term Trust

Engagement is not just about interaction — it’s about building trust. By being responsive, transparent, and respectful, GCShorts aims to foster a loyal and informed community of readers who feel valued and heard.

Our goal is to make GCShorts not only a source of news but also a platform where public voices matter and meaningful conversations can take place.
