Terms and Conditions

These Terms govern use of Tito Baron Media and voluntary submissions to its newsroom.

Story submissions

By submitting material, you confirm that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge. You must clearly identify opinion, commentary, allegation, and unverified information, and you must not present it as established fact. If you describe yourself as a witness, you agree to provide reasonable follow up information to Tito Baron Media if requested.

Age and parental permission

You must be at least 18 years old to submit material, or submit with the permission of a parent or legal guardian. If submitted material includes a minor, you confirm that you have any permission required to share it.

AI and edited material

You must disclose whether a submitted photograph, video, audio recording, document, or other material was generated or materially altered using artificial intelligence or other editing tools. Tito Baron Media may verify, label, decline, or remove such material at its editorial discretion.

Permission and rights

You confirm that you own the submitted material or have permission to share it, including any text, photographs, video, audio, or documents. You also confirm that, where required, people shown or heard in submitted material have given permission. You grant Tito Baron Media a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty free license to review, reproduce, edit, publish, distribute, and promote the submission in connection with its reporting. You keep ownership of your original material, subject to that license.

Privacy and confidential information

Do not submit private personal information without permission. The standard Submit a Story form is not a confidential or secure tip line, and should not be used for sensitive information that requires confidential handling.

Corrections and follow up

If a material detail in your submission later proves inaccurate, you agree to promptly notify Tito Baron Media. We may contact you to verify material, seek clarification, or correct, update, remove, or decline a submission.

No payment or promise of publication

Story submissions are voluntary and unpaid. Tito Baron Media does not promise payment, reimbursement, publication, placement, or a response. We may verify, edit, decline, remove, or publish material at our editorial discretion.

Prohibited submissions

Do not submit material that is knowingly false, defamatory, unlawful, infringing, invasive of another person’s privacy, harmful, or that exposes confidential personal information without permission.

Editorial independence

Newsroom decisions remain independent. Publication of a submission does not create an employment, agency, partnership, or compensation relationship.

Privacy and updates

Personal information is handled under the Privacy Policy. Tito Baron Media may update these Terms, and continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
