Editorial Policy

This is a curated publication. All submissions are reviewed. Publishing is at my discretion.
I may lightly edit for clarity, grammar, and house style. Substantive changes are confirmed with you first.
Anonymous bylines are possible; I’ll need a way to contact you during editing.

Legal & Safety

Do not submit illegal content of any kind (e.g., doxxing/PII leaks, copyrighted material without rights, exploitation, incitement).
By submitting, you affirm the work is yours to publish and you grant Third Degree Media a non-exclusive right to publish it on the site (you retain your copyright).
Citations and claims: include sources. For investigations, keep notes handy; I may ask for verification.
We minimize data collection and keep submissions via email—no trackers, no web forms.

Optional: PGP for Encrypted Submissions

Use this key to encrypt your message/file before emailing.

Basic usage: gpg --encrypt --armor --recipient "Third Degree Media" yourfile.md

Response Time

I aim to acknowledge submissions quickly. If you don’t hear back in a few days, feel free to follow up.
