Publishing Standards & Policies

Mysteek News is committed to responsible, accurate, and faith-centered journalism. Our publishing standards ensure transparency, fairness, and integrity in everything we publish.

All MystEEK News memberships are annual and require renewal. Members will receive a renewal notice before their membership expires. Membership benefits are contingent upon active, current membership status.

Membership fees are due at the time of registration. Refund requests must be submitted in writing within 30 days of purchase. Partial refunds may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Advertising payments are non-refundable once the ad has been published.

All submitted articles must be original, accurate, and meet MystEEK News editorial standards. Submissions should be well-written, factual, and relevant to our readership. The editorial team reserves the right to edit submissions for clarity, length, grammar, and adherence to publishing standards. Submissions that contain false, misleading, defamatory, or inappropriate content will be rejected.

All advertising must be approved by the MystEEK News editorial team before publication. Advertisements must be truthful, non-deceptive, and comply with all applicable laws. We reserve the right to reject any advertisement that does not meet our standards or that conflicts with our mission and values.

Submitters must have written permission to publish all submitted photographs and media. MystEEK News is not responsible for copyright infringement resulting from submitted content. By submitting photos, you grant MystEEK News permission to publish them in print and digital formats.

Mysteek News is committed to accuracy. If an error is identified in a published article, we will issue a correction promptly. Retractions will be published when necessary. Readers and members are encouraged to report errors to our editorial team.

Mysteek News collects and stores member information solely for the purpose of providing membership services and communication. We do not sell, share, or distribute personal information to third parties without consent. Members may request access to or deletion of their personal data at any time.

All members and contributors are expected to engage respectfully and constructively. Harassment, hate speech, discrimination, and abusive behavior will not be tolerated. Violations may result in suspension or termination of membership.

All paid or sponsored content will be clearly labeled as ‘Advertisement,’ ‘Sponsored,’ or ‘Paid Partnership.’ Mysteek News maintains a clear distinction between editorial content and paid material to ensure transparency with our readers.

Mysteek News does not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on race, gender, age, religion, nationality, disability, or any other protected characteristic. All members, contributors, and staff are expected to uphold standards of respect and dignity.

Content that contains false, defamatory, or unsubstantiated claims against individuals, organizations, or businesses will not be published. Submitters are responsible for the accuracy and legality of their submissions.

Mysteek News maintains editorial independence. Advertising and sponsorship do not influence editorial decisions. Our editorial team operates independently to ensure fair, balanced, and truthful reporting.
Labeling Standards

Opinion articles and paid advertisements must be labeled so readers understand the difference between independent reporting, personal views, and promotional material.

Political Coverage

Mysteek News should report political subjects factually and respectfully. Political coverage should focus on how policies affect churches, families, businesses, and communities — not partisan arguing for clicks.
