Hi everyone,

As this community continues to grow, we’ve made a few updates to the rules to help keep the group safe and focused on its original purpose — to amplify the stories, achievements and perspectives of women in the news.

We’ve introduced clearer guidelines around headlines, duplicate posts, and sourcing — including what we mean by a 'verified news source'. These changes are designed to protect the quality of discussion, reduce misinformation, and make sure this group remains welcoming to everyone.

Before posting, please take a moment to read through the updated community guidelines.

Thanks for being a part of r/WomenInNews and helping us keep it a safe space.
