Effective August 13, 2026

Terms of use

These terms explain the basic rules for using 617news.com and sending material to the newsroom.

01

Information and event listings

617 News provides journalism and local information, not professional advice. Event dates, prices, locations and availability can change; confirm with the linked organizer before acting.

02

Submissions

You must have the right to send the material you submit and must not knowingly provide unlawful, misleading or harmful content. You grant 617 News permission to store, review, verify, edit and use submitted material for newsroom and publication purposes, without any promise of coverage or payment unless separately agreed in writing.

A confidentiality request starts a conversation; it is not an automatic legal privilege or guarantee of anonymity.

03

Site content and acceptable use

617 News content and design may not be republished or commercially exploited without permission, except as allowed by law. Do not interfere with the site, attempt unauthorized access, scrape personal information or use forms for spam or harassment.

04

Changes and questions

The site and these terms may change as the publication grows. Continued use after an updated effective date means the updated terms apply. Contact the newsroom with questions.
