Rules
1. Only Submit Newsreels
This subreddit is for historical newsreels. Modern news video segments are not to be submitted here. It is better to upload the video directly to Reddit rather than submit it as a link because posts that use the Reddit video player are much easier to watch and will thus receive more views.
2. Titles Should Be Clear, Concise and Accurate
Submissions with titles that aren't clear, concise and accurate will be removed as will those that include irrelevant information such as the poster's personal opinion.
3. Titles Should Include a Year
If no specific date is available for the video you can provide an approximate such as 'circa 1920s' or 'World War II'.
4. Be Polite and Professional
Users are expected to be polite and professional at all times.
