The public channels can be considered &#8220;on the record&#8221; &#8211; but it&#8217;s still a good habit to ask before sharing anything outside this community.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tReciprocity\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>The LION community is full of smart, generous people who go the extra mile to help answer questions and share expertise. We hope you&#8217;ll tap into that collective knowledge, as well as contribute to it, so that we can continue to build on the spirit of reciprocity that makes the LION community so strong.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tRespect\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>We want to leave space for lively conversations, and even disagreements, in this group, but we expect those conversations to always remain respectful and civil. As moderators, we will not tolerate personal attacks, offensive language, or harassment of any kind, and we reserve the right to warn and\/or remove anyone who doesn&#8217;t meet these standards. Not sure if something crosses the line? Please check with a moderator before posting it, or err on the side of caution and step away.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tHow to request an invite\n\t<\/h3>\n\tOnce you\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/shrLqAMYwPvUVRBXI\">request an invitation<\/a> to join the News Entrepreneur Community, you should receive an email invite from Slack within 2 business days.
