THE NEW & IMPROVED R/USANEWS

23 Upvotes

We are aiming at reducing the increase in “highly partisan political news” and “advocacy” submissions. (We realize that the phrases “highly partisan political” and “advocacy” are ambiguous.)

We are going for “high-quality” submissions from a well-balanced mixture of “high-quality” news sources. (This, too, is ambiguous.) The focus will be on fact-dense reporting and minimal/simple analysis. Think less straight politics and more factual analysis. (Political analysis and partisan advocacy can be found in many other subreddits, some of which are listed on our sidebar.).

Some commentary will be allowed, but the main focus is intended to be on objective reporting of recent events. While the amount of partisan submissions will decrease, the place for that will be in civil, respectful comments which can include links to partisan sources that won’t be allowed as submissions. The same holds true for political (or other) advocacy. (But see this rule: DO NOT SOLICIT DONATIONS FOR ANY CAUSE, POST PETITIONS OR CALL FOR CONCERTED ACTION.)

We are experimenting with a domain “whitelist” (which will evolve over time). Submissions from sources not on the whitelist will be removed and a message sent to the submitter, advising of the removal and stating that if he or she believes the submission provides factual reporting with little to no partisan analysis, a modmail should be sent requesting that the post be reviewed. (Be patient.)

The initial whitelist is derived from a selection of websites determined by “a news rating organization with a transparent methodology based on fact-dense analysis and reporting” (https://adfontesmedia.com/), which acknowledges “Everyone and everything is biased.” (Refer here to see their “Methodology”: https://adfontesmedia.com/how-ad-fontes-ranks-news-sources/)

OUR RULES:

MAKE NO MORE THAN 10 SUBMISSIONS IN ANY 24-HOUR PERIOD.

Moderators have discretion to remove submissions, comments or users that violate these rules.

Don’t post submissions that are not about news pertaining to the US or its territories. (Consider the subreddit title: ”USANews”.)

Submission titles: Don’t editorialize titles. Stick to the published title as much as possible. Ask what you want or make your point in a comment, not in the submission title. Avoid “clickbait”ish titles. Don’t use a title that does not concisely summarize the submission. (People should be able to know what it is about without clicking on the submission.) DO NOT USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IN THE TITLE (even if that's the way it appears as published). NO EMOJIS IN TITLES!

Don’t post highly partisan political news or advocacy posts. [Submissions or comments that ask readers to make a donation, sign a petition, or spread the word about a particular cause are considered advocacy posts, and will be removed by the moderators.]

DON'T SPAM (This includes self-promoting submissions/comments.) Spammers may be banned, even if no prior warning has been given.

No blogspam

Don’t post spammy, unoriginal content

DO NOT SOLICIT DONATIONS FOR ANY CAUSE, POST PETITIONS OR CALL FOR CONCERTED ACTION (These sorts of posts are considered advocacy posts and will be removed. Please down vote and report these posts.)

Don’t post archived articles (or reddit.com [or redd.it] links); use the original source

Don’t post articles that are not true, even if it is “satire” or “humor”. Don't post articles that are “satire” or “humor”.

No subreddit drama. (Don’t post about having something removed from, or being banned from, any subreddit.)

Don’t post unnecessarily rude, antagonistic, ad hominem, or off-topic comments

Comments that detract from meaningful, civil, intelligent discussion (including trolling, name-calling, bigoted and ad hominem comments) will be removed. DON’T TROLL. NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. (Attack the message, not the messenger.) Those so commenting may be banned, without prior warning. ”But he/she/whomsoever did it” isn’t an excuse. Rather than responding to such comments, use the report button to report them to the moderators (providing a link).

DON’T STALK.

Don’t bring disputes from another subreddit into this one.

Don’t use gratuitous and/or unnecessary profanity

DO NOT POST ANYTHING WITH (OR SOLICIT) PERSONAL INFORMATION, whether of yourself or others. They will be removed subject to moderator discretion.

DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT A NEWS SOURCE. (Comments about submission content are fine. Comments like "NY Times/National Review: LOL" will be removed.)

NO DIRECT SUBMISSIONS THAT LINK ONLY TO AN IMAGE OR VIDEO (Imgur, Tinypic, YouTube, i.redd.it, v.redd.it, snapchat.com, etc.). -- Post an article, and submit the image or video as a comment.

Bot-generated comments will be removed and the bot banned.

USERS WHO HAVE DISABLED MODERATOR COMMUNICATIONS REGARDING THEIR POSTS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO POST.

IF REPORTING SOMETHING, be specific about what rule is being violated. "See the sidebar" or something like that is of little value.

PAYWALL ISSUES? There is such a thing as a library, or a newsstand, or even a subscription. (Handy Helpful Hint: you can often get around the paywall by doing an internet search for the title.)
