A voluntary initiative unaffiliated with any organization, Counterview accepts news stories, blogs, and articles on current events and policy changes. While original content is preferred, we may accept pieces published elsewhere, provided you retain the right to republish them.
While we do not adhere to a specific ideology, our content is geared toward a readership of academia, civil society, policymakers, experts, media professionals, and activists.
Content Standards
Your writing can be scathingly critical but must avoid overt propaganda for or against any political outfit, individual, or organization. Content should not be derogatory, incite hate, or be overtly promotional.
Even in commentaries or blogs, you must inform the reader with facts and figures. As a news blog, content should be anchored to a recent event; essay-type articles lacking concrete information will be rejected.
Editorial Policy
Counterview is not a campaign site. When publishing campaign-related matter, we will edit headlines and text to ensure it is not perceived as the viewpoint of Counterview. Plagiarized content will be rejected.
We reserve the right to edit or rewrite content, provide objective headings, and remove portions that suggest we are favoring a specific ideology.
Formatting & References
* Citations: Use hyperlinks for secondary sources. If a source is not available online (e.g., a book or research paper), cite it within brackets in the text.
* Bylines: We prefer articles to include a byline with a one liner on who you are. However, you may choose to remain anonymous under the pseudonyms Counterview Desk, By A Representative, or a chosen pen name. In case you prefer not to provide information about you, we may include your email contact detail at the end.
* Length: We recommend a maximum of 1,000 words to maintain reader interest.
* Images: You may send suggestive images (preferably original or Creative Commons) as separate attachments with short captions.
