People Newspapers Community Commenting Policy

People Newspapers loves reading the conversations on social media that have been sparked by our journalism.  

We welcome your thoughts, insights, and criticisms on the issues we cover. We invite you to join the conversation, ask us questions, and share your personal stories.

We’re working to moderate these conversations. We ask that readers help us keep the conversation civil by refraining from posting comments that include:

• Personal attacks or harassment, either of our staff or members of our communities.
• Yelling, or writing in all caps.
• Name-calling, vulgar language, or language that is demeaning to an individual or group of individuals.
• Misinformation.

Comments should stay on topic, be thoughtful, and have a connection to the issues raised by our article. They also must be made by actual people — we’re interested in hearing from you, not ChatGPT.

Thank you for engaging with our team. If you see a comment that we should remove, please reach out to Sarah Hodges, editor, at [email protected].
