Frequently asked
FAQ
The questions readers ask The Daily Sunshine Coast most often.
Is the newsletter free?
Yes. Our morning briefing is free, sent on weekday mornings, and you can unsubscribe at any time with a single click.
How do you decide what to cover?
We focus on stories that matter to Sunshine Coast residents — councils, courts, planning, schools, sport, business openings and closures, transport, and what's on this weekend. We don't chase national hot takes.
Do you use AI to write articles?
We use AI tools to help research, summarise public documents and draft starting points, but every published article is reviewed and edited by a human. Our editorial standards page describes this in detail.
How do you make money?
Through newsletter sponsorships, sponsored articles that are clearly labelled, partnerships with local businesses, and ethical affiliate links. We never sell coverage.
How do I send a news tip?
Use our confidential tip form at /tips, or email the editor. We protect sources.
How do I suggest a correction?
Every article has a 'Suggest a correction' link at the bottom that opens a pre-filled email to our corrections desk. We publish corrections transparently.
Can I republish your work?
Short quotes with attribution and a link back are fine. For full republication, get in touch via the contact page — we're generally happy to license to other local outlets and community groups.
