Before sharing

• Own the material or obtain explicit permission from its rights holder.
• Ask interviewees and identifiable people for permission; use a guardian’s permission for minors.
• Give approximate places rather than private addresses, and omit sensitive details.
• Separate remembered events, family tradition and independently documented facts.
• Tell the editor your preferred credit, restrictions and whether you wish to withdraw permission.

Editors review evidence, rights and safety before publication. A photograph is not published simply because it was uploaded.
