Submission Guidelines

​Counterview is an independent, voluntary initiative unaffiliated with any organization. We welcome original articles, news reports, analyses, and commentary on current affairs, public policy, human rights, and socio-economic developments.
​Our readership consists of civil society members, academics, professional experts, policymakers, journalists, and grassroots activists.
​1. Content & Editorial Standards
​- Fact-Driven & Timely: Submissions must be grounded in verified facts, data, and credible sources. Commentaries and op-eds should be anchored to recent events or ongoing policy debates; abstract essays lacking concrete evidence will not be accepted.
​- Tone & Objectivity: While we encourage incisive critique and analytical rigor, we do not publish partisan propaganda, promotional content, derogatory remarks, or hate speech targeting any community, individual, or political group.
​- Editorial Discretion: Counterview is an independent platform, not an activist or campaign vehicle. We reserve the right to edit, trim, or rewrite text and headlines to maintain editorial neutrality and clarity.
​- Originality: Plagiarized submissions will be rejected immediately. While original work is prioritized, we occasionally accept cross-posts if you hold the republishing rights and clearly disclose the original publisher.
​- Press Releases & Statements: Organizational statements, campaign releases, and communiqués will be adapted and processed as reported news items, not published as unedited viewpoint statements.
​2. Formatting & Style
​- Word Count: Submissions should ideally be under 1,000 words. Longer pieces may be edited for length or split into a series.
​Citations & References:
​- Hyperlink all digital secondary sources directly within the text.
​- Offline sources (print books, court orders, physical archives) should be cited in parentheses within the body text.
​Bylines & Author Bios:
​- Articles and blogs should include a brief one-line biography (name, profession, and affiliation). If you decline to provide a bio, an email address will be appended for reader feedback.
​- News reports submitted without an author byline will carry the credit “By A Representative.”
- ​Images: Authors are welcome to suggest images (original or Creative Commons-licensed). Send images as separate file attachments accompanied by relevant captions and photo credits.
​3. Rights & Remuneration
- ​Licensing: Published pieces are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial (CC BY-NC) license, permitting republication for non-commercial purposes with appropriate credit, unless an alternate arrangement is explicitly requested in advance.
​- Voluntary Platform: Counterview operates as a non-funded, non-profit volunteer platform; we do not offer monetary compensation for accepted contributions.
​4. How to Submit
​Send your submission as an editable document (simple text, .docx or Google Doc) to: counterview.net@gmail.com
​Submitting a piece signifies your acceptance of these editorial policies and licensing terms.

New UPF study strengthens case for statutory controls on junk food advertising

Counterview News   A randomized controlled trial published in the journal Nature Metabolism has found that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) trigger metabolic and neural responses distinct from minimally processed foods—even when the two meals are nutritionally identical. The study provides direct experimental evidence that food processing itself influences health through mechanisms beyond calories and macronutrients alone.
