• The News Editor has the final decision as to what is suitable and appropriate but items considered sensitive will be reviewed by the President and/or the committee of Sydney Bushwalkers Inc.
• Items will remain on the website for one month unless considered by the News Editor, that it is appropriate they should remain longer
• Specific dates, places and contact details should be avoided unless for a social event
• The opinions expressed in a News Item are not necessarily those of the News Editor or the Sydney Bushwalkers Inc.
• Items sent to the News Editor may be referred to the Magazine Editor and published in the Newsletter or Magazine at the discretion of the News Editor.
• A News Item will only be published if forwarded by a current member of Sydney Bushwalkers Inc.
• News Items of a personal nature will only be published if approved by that person or it is considered important to publish them at the discretion of the News Editor.
• Items regarding proposed events (including social events and unusual walks) are suitable and reminders of these events may be appropriate.
