Quick answers
Will you use my name?
Only if you want us to. Tell us in the story field how you want to be credited — first name, IG handle, or keep it off the record.
How fast do you review?
The team checks the inbox daily. If your tip is time-sensitive, note it in the headline and we'll fast-track it.
Do I get paid?
Not usually — most stuff runs as a shout-out. If it's exclusive footage we'll reach out to discuss.
Can I stay off camera?
Yep. Send the clip, we run it, you stay behind the scenes. Just say so in the story.
What if I'm in the video?
You need to have permission from everyone recognizable in it. That's what the consent box covers.
