By 1808Delaware
1808Delaware has opened a new door into its newsroom.
A new feature called Partyline now allows readers to submit photographs, news tips, community updates, and unexpected local moments directly from a phone, tablet, or computer.
The idea is simple. When something is happening in your neighborhood, at a school event, along a busy road, inside a local business, or anywhere else across Delaware County and northern Franklin County, you now have an easy way to tell us about it.
Built For The Moments We Cannot Always Reach
No local news organization can be everywhere at once. Graduations, scout ceremonies, neighborhood gatherings, community celebrations, unusual weather, road problems, lost pets, striking sunsets, and breaking events can unfold anywhere and at any time.
Partyline gives readers a way to help 1808Delaware see more of those moments across Delaware County and northern Franklin County. A submission can include one or more photographs, a headline, and a description of what happened. Readers may also save an unfinished submission and return to it later.
The Partyline page can be installed on a phone’s home screen, making it easy to open whenever something worth sharing appears. The ability to send directly via text is coming soon.
Readers Contribute, 1808Delaware Reviews
Partyline does not automatically publish anything to the website. Each submission is sent to 1808Delaware for review. Information may be edited, verified, expanded, or held for additional follow-up before anything appears online.
Submitting a photograph, tip, or story does not guarantee that it will be published. All submissions must meet 1808Delaware’s editorial guidelines and standards. Material that cannot be confirmed, falls outside the site’s coverage area, raises privacy or legal concerns, or is otherwise unsuitable for publication may not be posted.
Partyline is intended for news tips, photographs, and community information, not free business advertising. Newsworthy business developments are welcome, but promotional copy, sales pitches, product or service advertisements, and repeated marketing submissions will not be published through Partyline. Businesses interested in advertising or sponsored content on 1808Delaware may contact 1808delaware@gmail.com for information, rates, and availability.
This review process allows readers to contribute while preserving the editorial judgment and standards that guide 1808Delaware’s coverage. When a submission is published, the contributor may be credited by name. Contact information will never be displayed publicly.
More Voices, More Local Stories
Some of the most interesting local stories begin with a reader noticing something. It may be a photograph from a parade, a tip about a new business, a moment from a school program, a community event that deserves wider attention, or something unusual that simply makes people smile.
Partyline lowers the barrier between seeing something and sharing it.
It also gives 1808Delaware another way to expand its coverage while remaining focused on the people, places, and events that make Delaware County and northern Franklin County distinctive. What else would you expect from the only news medium that rejects the idea of making you pay for access?
