“Dubna Suggest News” is a Telegram bot that works as an intake tool for the @dubna channel. It collects user-submitted local news and forwards them to the channel admins for review and publication. The bot is focused on events in Dubna and nearby areas.
News submission workflow
Users can send plain text, photos, videos, and voice messages. The bot expects essential context: address or location, time of the event, and any relevant details. This structure helps the channel maintain a clear and verifiable news feed based on input from local residents.
Anonymity and privacy
All submissions are processed anonymously from the audience side: the original sender is not disclosed in the published post. The bot acts as a buffer between the author and the public channel, which is useful for sensitive topics and everyday urban issues.
Weather utility
In addition to news collection, the bot provides a simple weather feature. By sending the /weather command, users receive the current forecast directly in chat. This makes the bot a compact local tool that combines community reporting with basic weather information.
