We want our stories shared widely for free by other journalism organizations. We welcome and encourage you to republish our journalism. Please follow these rules.
- Give us credit, ideally in this format: “By Jane Reporter, The Buckeye Flame” and ideally at the top of the piece.
- If you publish online, include the links from the story, and a link to www.thebuckeyeflame.com.
- It’s fine to change specific style pieces story to suit your in-house style (for example, using “Schneck said.” instead of “said Schneck.”)
- If you make changes that are more significant than style tweaks — such as adding a comment from a local official — you should clear that with editor@thebuckeyeflame.com and need to include a note like this: “Additional reporting by Joe Reporter.”
- You can publish our photos and graphics only with the stories with which they originally appeared. For any other uses, seek permission.
- When possible, include the following at the end of the story: The Buckeye Flame is an online platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of LGBTQ+ Ohioans to support community and civic empowerment through the creation of engaging content that chronicles their triumphs, struggles, and lived experiences.
- If you share the story on social media, please mention @thebuckeyeflame (Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn & Facebook).
- Don’t sell the story.
- Don’t sell ads against the story or place the story behind a paywall. Feel free, however, to publish it on a page surrounded by ads you’ve already sold.
