Originality & Copyright
Contributors must have the necessary rights to submit their work.
You should not submit:
- Articles copied from another publication;
- Plagiarised material;
- Copyrighted photographs without permission;
- AI-generated material represented as entirely original human work where such representation would be misleading;
- Material submitted without the necessary authority;
- Material that unlawfully reproduces another person’s work.
Contributors are responsible for ensuring that their submissions do not infringe third-party rights.
CLNN may use plagiarism or originality checks where appropriate.
AI-Assisted Content
CLNN recognises that writers may use technology and artificial-intelligence tools as part of their research or drafting process.
However, contributors remain responsible for the final submission.
AI tools must not be used to:
- Fabricate facts;
- Invent sources;
- Create false quotations;
- Manufacture evidence;
- Misrepresent events;
- Produce plagiarised material;
- Mislead readers about the origin or accuracy of information.
Where AI assistance materially affects a submission, CLNN may request appropriate disclosure or additional verification.
Accuracy & Verification
Contributors are expected to take reasonable steps to verify factual information before submission.
Particular care should be taken with:
- Names;
- Dates;
- Statistics;
- Legal provisions;
- Court judgments;
- Government decisions;
- Quotes;
- Financial information;
- Allegations;
- Photographs and captions.
Publication of a contributor’s article does not relieve the contributor of responsibility for knowingly false or misleading information.
Legal & Court-Related Contributions
CLNN welcomes contributions concerning law and the judiciary, but legal articles must be prepared responsibly.
Contributors should clearly distinguish between:
- Facts and opinions;
- Allegations and findings;
- Submissions of parties and observations of the court;
- Pending proceedings and final decisions;
- Legal analysis and established law.
Court orders, judgments and statutory provisions should be accurately cited wherever appropriate.
Contributors should avoid presenting a person as guilty merely because allegations, an FIR, an investigation or criminal proceedings exist.
Opinion Articles
CLNN welcomes strong and independent opinions.
An opinion article may criticise:
- Government policies;
- Public institutions;
- Political decisions;
- Corporate practices;
- Social developments;
- Laws and regulations;
- Public figures.
However, opinion should not be used as a vehicle for knowingly false factual allegations, hate speech, threats, harassment or unlawful content.
Where factual assertions are made within an opinion article, they should be capable of verification.
Editorial Review
Every submission is subject to editorial review.
The CLNN editorial team may assess:
- Newsworthiness;
- Originality;
- Accuracy;
- Relevance;
- Quality of writing;
- Sources and evidence;
- Legal and ethical considerations;
- Potential conflicts of interest;
- Suitability for CLNN’s audience.
We may request revisions, clarification, additional documentation or verification before publication.
Editing of Contributions
Accepted submissions may be edited for:
- Grammar;
- Spelling;
- Structure;
- Clarity;
- Length;
- Readability;
- Headline;
- Formatting;
- Legal and editorial compliance.
Where substantive changes are required, CLNN may discuss them with the contributor where appropriate.
The final published version remains subject to CLNN’s editorial standards.
Publication Is Not Guaranteed
Submitting an article does not guarantee publication.
CLNN may reject or defer a contribution where it:
- Does not meet editorial standards;
- Lacks sufficient originality;
- Contains unsupported claims;
- Contains plagiarism;
- Is primarily promotional;
- Raises legal concerns;
- Contains defamatory material;
- Infringes third-party rights;
- Is unsuitable for our audience;
- Does not provide sufficient public or editorial value.
CLNN is not required to provide an individual explanation for every rejected submission.
Promotional and Commercial Content
Contributions should not be disguised advertising.
An article primarily promoting a business, product, service, professional practice or organisation may be considered commercial content rather than an independent editorial contribution.
Where appropriate, CLNN may direct the contributor or organisation toward:
- Sponsored Content;
- Brand Partnership;
- Advertising;
- Press Release Submission.
Commercial relationships do not guarantee independent editorial coverage.
Conflicts of Interest
Contributors should disclose any significant relationship or financial interest that could reasonably affect the credibility of their article.
Examples may include:
- Writing about your own company;
- Writing about a client;
- Financial interest in a subject;
- Professional relationship with a person discussed;
- Paid involvement in the matter being analysed.
Disclosure allows CLNN to determine the appropriate editorial treatment.

A biography may include:
- Name;
- Professional designation;
- Area of expertise;
- Organisation;
- Relevant professional experience;
- Website or professional profile, where appropriate.
Biographical information must be accurate and must not make misleading claims about qualifications or achievements.

Specific ownership, licensing, exclusivity or payment arrangements may be agreed separately where applicable.
Contributors should retain copies of their original work and relevant supporting material.
Payment
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, submission does not create an entitlement to payment.
Certain commissioned assignments or professional contributions may be subject to separate commercial arrangements.
CLNN will communicate applicable terms before undertaking paid commissioned work.
