Features: Comments by People in the NewsAre you in the news? Post a comment!
Comments give people related to a news story the chance to directly respond to it. We think this feature gives readers greater depth and context to the news. Comments provide a unique insight because they come from individuals who are somehow involved in a story, but who may not have had the opportunity to share their full knowledge of the situation. Comments vs. other types of content Comments by People in the News are distinct from other types of content you might find on the Web:
Comments appear with the relevant article or cluster. After clicking on the comment, you can read the complete, unedited viewpoint of individuals who are quoted or mentioned in that story.
I appear in the news. Why send you a comment? Comments allow Google News users to find out the story behind a story, and to know exactly what the people in the news think about the stories they’re in. We strive to make the full spectrum of views and information related to a story available to everyone. If you're part of a particular story, we believe your comment should be posted next to the articles in Google News that cover it. Who can submit a comment? Google only posts comments from participants in stories - people who are either mentioned in a story or are related to organizations in a story. If you've been mentioned in a story and would like to submit a comment to appear in Google News, please submit it here. (If you're looking to send us comments or feedback about using Google News, you should contact us here.) After we’ve verified your identity, you’ll be allowed to submit comments about stories that mention you in Google News. All comments are considered "on the record" statements. To verify the identity of a commenter, we may contact the organization affiliated with the comment's author, reach out to local officials, or collaborate with journalists. While these are valid means for confirming identity, no method is foolproof. If you feel you've been wrongly attributed, please contact us and we’ll act quickly to resolve the issue. Comment guidelines Comments are not reviewed by any editors. Google isn't going to change the content of comments, including misspellings or grammatical errors. However, Google reserves the right not to post comments. For example, we won't post a comment if:
Please note that we won't post any personally identifiable information, such as address, phone number, or email address. Formatting your comment Although we'll try our best to maintain the formatting you originally used for your comment, we encourage you to follow these guidelines:
We currently only accept comments via email or our submission form. If you'd like to comment through some other means, please let us know your preferences. We're always looking to improve this service and your feedback will help us do just that. Lifetime of a comment Your comment will be available in Google News for 30 days, and it will appear next to the story with which it is associated. After 30 days, you may also be able to find it in the Google News Archive Search. However, if a story to which a comment is attached is removed by a publisher, Google may also remove comments associated with that story. You may also be interested in... |
