You may submit original images, charts, screenshots or diagrams when they improve the article. You must own the material or have permission to publish it.

Include the source, creator and licensing information for any third-party media. ryo.news may resize, crop, optimize or replace images to meet publication and website requirements.

Use of artificial intelligence

AI-assisted research, editing, translation or formatting must be carefully reviewed by the contributor. The submitting author remains responsible for every claim, source and quotation.

• Content promoting scams, deception or unlawful activity
• Articles containing hidden links, tracking code or malicious files
• Content that misrepresents opinion or speculation as verified fact

Editorial Review and Modification

Every submission is subject to editorial review. Submission does not guarantee publication, and ryo.news may accept, reject or request changes to a contribution.

The editorial team may:

• Correct grammar, spelling and formatting
• Improve clarity, readability and organization
• Adjust headings, titles and article structure
• Verify claims, quotations and source links
• Request additional evidence or clarification

Unless otherwise agreed, the author retains copyright to their original work.

Published articles may remain in the permanent ryo.news archive. They may be updated or reformatted for accuracy, accessibility, website compatibility and editorial consistency while preserving authorship.

Compensation

Any payment or compensation arrangement must be agreed in writing before the contribution is commissioned or accepted. Submitting an unsolicited article does not by itself create an obligation for ryo.news to provide payment.
