Three ways to ask

A Voices call-out is decided by what you are asking readers to send — a sentence, a photo, or a whole account. Every one of them goes through the same moderation queue before it reaches the page.

Voices format

Text Voices

Ask your audience a question and collect written answers. Every response lands in the moderation queue first, so nothing reaches the page until an editor has read it — which is what makes the result publishable rather than a comment section.

  • Moderation queue
  • Multi-language
  • Embeddable anywhere
  • Export to story

What newsrooms use it for

  • Reader reaction to a running story
  • Calls for tips and eyewitness accounts
  • Cost-of-living and other lived-experience series
  • Question collection ahead of an interview

Layouts

  • InlineCompact row that drops into article flow. Best for mid-article placement.
  • CardContained card with avatar-stack social proof. Best for sidebar or end-of-article placement.
  • CinemaImmersive, photo-forward layout with glass card. Best for featured callouts.
  • ReelVertical, full-frame video feed readers flick through. Best for video callouts.

Choose Text Voices when the answer is a sentence or a paragraph, and you want to quote readers in your own copy.
