Welcome to THIS! Newsroom. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to thisnewsroom.com, the THIS! app, THIS! Radio, THIS! Newsroom Daily, THIS! Originals, our newsletters and our social media accounts (together, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Services.
1. Who we are
THIS! Newsroom is an independent news and media publisher founded by Krishna Dhokia and Shannon Dhokia. In these Terms, “THIS! Newsroom”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean THIS! Newsroom and its owners.
2. Our content and how it’s made
Our stories, audio and video are produced with the help of artificial intelligence and are written, checked and published by the THIS! Newsroom desk. Our podcast and radio hosts are AI voices. We work to be accurate and to link to our sources, but news moves fast: if you spot a mistake, please tell us through our Help and contact page and we’ll correct it.
Our content is for general information only. It isn’t financial, investment, legal, medical or other professional advice, and you shouldn’t rely on it as such.
3. Ownership and permitted use
All content on the Services (articles, headlines, graphics, photos we created, audio, video, logos, the THIS! name and design, and the software behind the Services) is owned by THIS! Newsroom or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. All rights reserved.
You may read, watch and listen for your own personal, non-commercial use, and you may share links to our content. You may quote a short excerpt with a credit and a link to the original story. You may not, without our written permission:
copy, republish, sell, rent or redistribute our content or any substantial part of it;
scrape, crawl or bulk-download the Services, or use our content to train or build artificial intelligence or other data products;

If you send us tips, comments, poll votes, photos or other material, you confirm you have the right to share it, and you give us a free, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use, edit and publish it in connection with the Services. We may remove anything you post at our discretion. Please don’t send us anything confidential.
7. Advertising, sponsors and affiliate links
The Services are free and supported by advertising and sponsorships. Some links are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you buy something, at no extra cost to you. Sponsored content and ads are labeled. We aren’t responsible for advertisers’ products, services or websites.
