Comments Policy
All comments posted are the responsibility of the poster, and Gator Nation News does not necessarily agree with or endorse any opinions expressed. We maintain the right to edit comments for clarity and grammatical errors before publication in order to meet the needs of the newspaper and provide high quality content for our readers. We also reserve the right to decline publication of comments or to remove without notice if they are found to be inappropriate. Every reader is entitled to their own opinion, but we have to ensure that the comments system is used for constructive and relevant discussion. Gator Nation News makes no claim as to the validity of the claimed origin of the comment, but if impersonation is discovered, then the offending comment will be deleted.
Bylines
All articles, graphics, photos, art, columns, pages, reviews, and other material creatively conceived–with the exception of staff editorials, cut-outs, and editorial photos–will be bylined with the producer’s name. All bylined writers will be held accountable for their work. When more than one person has contributed creatively to a piece of work, any person who has contributed to the work must be bylined as a producer.
Letters to the Editor
The newspaper staff welcomes letters from students, faculty, and community members as they give a constructive way for more people to express their opinions, criticisms, and reactions to school issues. The writer must sign the letter, and editors will make either personal or email contact before publishing to confirm that the name given is valid. If a letter has more than two people represented in the writing, there will be a main author credited with a byline for the supporters, but all must sign the letter before publishing with verifications. The letters must be 250 words or less, and can be edited for grammar and content if necessary by the staff as long as the changes do not affect the meaning of the letter. Each writer will be contacted to make sure of this before publication. Due to limitations of space, the staff cannot guarantee that all letters will be published, but the staff will do its best to cover all topics fully.
