Content:

1. All article content must be written from a neutral point of view. This allows all views to be represented fairly and without bias.

Submitting an article gives Host Yuppie the rights to publish and edit, if needed. The newsletter editor will review all articles and make minor changes for readability, organization and Associated Press style prior to publication. If significant edits are needed, the editor will send the revised article back to author for approval or have the author edit the article themselves. The staff editor must approve the article before publication. The date an article is published will be determined by the editor unless specified by the author.

There is a completed bi-weekly newsletter that articles in Host Yuppie are included in and are available on the newsletter archive page.

Please contact the editor with ideas or suggestions, or to get your article included in Host Yuppie Article Directory.
