Premium Quint Members can publish only one article per month in our Members' Opinion column. We believe that it is necessary to maintain the quality of stories on our platform.

Articles can be submitted in either English or Hindi. If you submit an article in Hindi, it will be published on the Quint Hindi website (https://hindi.thequint.com).

1. We prefer well-researched articles written in a comprehensible manner.
2. The maximum length is 800 words.
3. We prefer articles dealing with current issues with a clear focus.
4. The article has to be well-organised with 2-3 subheadings.
5. Please feel free to share a tentative headline and a one-line description. We’ll try to accommodate the suggested headline but may alter it to suit our style.
6. All sources have to be cited with hyperlinks.
7. Graphs and diagrams are welcome.

At present, The Quint does not allow the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for the creation of textual and multimedia materials intended for publication on our website. We request all contributors to abstain from employing AI chatbots or similar technologies for content generation. Any instances of such usage will result in the immediate removal of the respective article or content from the website.

Given the dynamic nature of the AI landscape, we are currently in the process of formulating an AI policy aimed at fostering its ethical and responsible usage.

If you have doubts or queries about whether the use of AI is allowed or not in a particular situation/story, we kindly request that you reach out to us in advance for clarification.

While we prioritise articles submitted by our members, each article goes through a comprehensive editorial review. Please allow us 4-5 working days to get back to you regarding your submission.

Articles are subject to revisions and updates to ensure accuracy, relevance, and the inclusion of new information. Our team will work with you if your article requires a revision or update.
