Can I block certain users from viewing or commenting on my content?
Currently, there is no option to block users from the creator dashboard. If you encounter any issues with a user on our platform, please reach out to us at creator@newswav.com.
Can my content be published on other platforms too?
Yes, articles and videos that you have published on Newswav can be posted on other platforms, including your own website, blog, social media platforms, or other content sites etc.
Vice versa, content that you’ve published on other platforms can be submitted onto the Newswav creator platform as well, so long as you are the owner of the content/ material, or you own the rights to repurpose them.
Does Newswav own the content I publish on Newswav?
As per Clause 9.1 of our Terms of Use, all rights title and interest in the materials and user content available in the Newswav platform are owned by the respective publishers or users, and Newswav does not own any such rights relating to the materials and the user content. The publication of the materials and the user content in the platform do not, in any way, transfer any intellectual property rights to us.
Why was my cover image replaced with a generic image?
At Newswav, it is our standard practice to replace cover images that are not owned by the creator with a generic image related to the topic after 60 days of publication. This applies to all creators and publishers on the platform, including major news outlets.
This practice helps us reduce the risk of copyright infringement and ensures a safer publishing environment for both creators and the platform.
👉 If you own the image, you may indicate ownership in the image caption by writing something like “Image by Your Name”. Please note:
- Do not include hyperlinks in the caption, as this indicates to the system that the image is sourced from a third party.
- Exceptions apply if you are using royalty-free images from trusted platforms such as Unsplash or Pexels.
Why is my article available in other languages?
To enhance content reach across our multilingual audience and support a wider readership, all creator content is automatically translated using AI into English, Bahasa Malaysia, and Chinese.
These translations are generated automatically to improve accessibility and visibility. While we aim for accuracy, AI translations may not fully reflect the original meaning or context of the article. The original published version remains the authoritative source.
