Kindly do not modify the text of the original story. In some instances, we ask community collaborators to review their quotes for accuracy.

If you choose to do so, please include a note that says, “Additional reporting by [Outlet Reporter]”.
5. Feel free to use our art and media! (Just tell us first).
