Whether you're a regular reader, a potential contributor, or a local organization looking to share news, we've gathered the information you're likely looking for.
What geographic area does Growthflow cover?
We focus primarily on Calgary and its surrounding communities. Our coverage extends to neighboring municipalities and regions where events have direct relevance to Calgary-area residents. If something happens nearby that affects our readers, we cover it.
How do I submit a news tip or story idea?
Reach out to us at [email protected] with details about the story. Include what's happening, when, where, and why it matters to the community. Photos or documents help, but aren't required. We review every submission, though we can't guarantee coverage of every tip.
Is Growthflow free to read?
Yes. Our news content is freely accessible. We believe local information should be available to everyone in the community without barriers.
How can my organization get coverage for an upcoming event?
Send event details to our editorial team at least two weeks in advance when possible. Include the date, time, location, what the event is about, and who it's for. Cultural events, community initiatives, and public meetings are the kinds of things we regularly cover. We can't guarantee coverage, but we do consider every request.
What's your editorial process like?
Every story goes through fact-checking before publication. We verify information with multiple sources when possible, and we clearly distinguish between news reporting and opinion pieces. Our team reviews submissions for accuracy, relevance, and fairness. Corrections are published promptly when errors occur.
How do I contact the editorial team?
Email is best: [email protected]. You can also call us at +1 403-555-9921 during business hours, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 8 PM. We're located at 220 8 Ave SW in downtown Calgary if you prefer to stop by.
Can I contribute articles or opinion pieces?
We accept guest contributions from community members with relevant expertise or perspectives. Send a pitch first—tell us your idea, your background on the topic, and why it matters to Calgary readers. Not everything gets published, but we respond to every serious inquiry.
How often do you publish new content?
Daily. Breaking news goes up as it happens. Feature stories and in-depth reporting publish throughout the week. Some topics, like local politics and community events, get more frequent updates during busy periods like election seasons or festival times.
Do you cover paid press releases or sponsored content?
We clearly label any sponsored or promotional content. Regular news stories are based on editorial judgment, not payment. If an organization wants to share news, they can submit it like anyone else—we'll cover it if it's genuinely newsworthy for our readers.
How do I report an error in a story?
Email [email protected] with the article title and the specific error. We take corrections seriously. If we got something wrong, we'll fix it and note the correction in the article.
Can I share your articles on social media?
Absolutely. Share away. We appreciate proper attribution—link back to the original article rather than copying the full text. That helps readers find more context and supports our work.
What topics won't you cover?
We avoid publishing unverified rumors, personal disputes that aren't matters of public interest, and content that could harm individuals without legitimate news value. We're a news outlet, not a bulletin board. Our focus stays on stories that serve the broader community.
