At The Latest Tech News, we are committed to providing our readers with accurate, insightful, and forward-thinking technology journalism. We welcome contributions from industry experts, developers, and tech enthusiasts who can offer unique perspectives and in-depth analysis.
To ensure every article meets our quality benchmarks, we have established the following editorial standards. Please review them carefully before preparing your manuscript.
1. Core Coverage Areas
We seek content that informs and empowers our audience. Our primary focus areas include:
- Emerging Technologies & Innovation
- Digital Strategy & Market Trends
- Hardware Reviews & Gadget Analysis
- Social Media Dynamics
- E-commerce & Online Business Growth
We prioritize submissions that offer a unique angle, data-backed case studies, or first-hand technical experience.
2. Editorial Quality Requirements
All submissions are evaluated based on E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness).
- Depth & Length: Articles must be comprehensive, typically exceeding 1,000 words. We prioritize depth of insight over simple word count.
- Originality: We strictly publish 100% original content. Submissions that have been published elsewhere, derived from “spun” content, or generated by AI without significant human oversight and editing will be declined.
- Structure: Content should be formatted for digital readability, utilizing clear headings (H2, H3), bullet points, and concise paragraphs.
- Visuals: Contributors must include at least one high-resolution image (1200×630 px) with proper usage rights or attribution.
3. Citation & Reference Policy
We adhere to strict journalistic integrity regarding external references.
- Credible Sourcing: All data, statistics, and technical claims must be cited from reputable sources (e.g., academic journals, official documentation, or major news outlets).
- Promotional Content: Promotional links or commercial references within the body of the article are not permitted. The focus of the article must remain educational and objective.
- Author Attribution: We value our contributors. You may include a link to your personal portfolio, LinkedIn profile, or personal website exclusively within your Author Biography section.
4. Content Integrity & Safety
To maintain a safe and professional environment, the following are strictly prohibited:
- Discriminatory, offensive, or hate speech.
- Factually incorrect information or pseudoscience.
- Plagiarized material or unedited AI-generated text.
- Overtly commercial content disguised as editorial analysis.
5. Transparency & Disclosure
In the interest of transparency for our readers, all articles submitted by external contributors will be clearly marked as “Guest Contributor” or a similar designation. This allows our audience to distinguish between in-house reporting and community perspectives.
6. Editorial Review Process
- Right to Edit: The editorial team reserves the right to edit content for clarity, grammar, tone, and formatting to align with our house style.
- Approval: Submission does not guarantee publication. Acceptance is based entirely on the relevance, quality, and originality of the piece.
- Compliance: Failure to adhere to these standards may result in the rejection of the manuscript or the revocation of contributor privileges.
