Wikinews:Wikinews needs you!
From Wikinews, the free news source you can write!
Welcome to Wikinews, the free news source written by you! Everything you read here is written by individuals just like yourself. You can also any other article you see — expand them, fix spelling mistakes, correct facts, or otherwise!
What Wikinews articles are
First and foremost, they are written from a neutral point of view and don't contain opinion or commentary
There are two main kinds of articles:
Articles written using information from other online news sources. "What does that offer that I can't get from, say, Google News?", you may ask. Simple — we can combine all the facts available from all sources about a news event into a single article for the reader's convenience. We can also present the information in a neutral manner — avoiding the bias that may be present in other news sources.
Articles written by original reporting. You yourself can write the news! We only ask that you take detailed notes and present them with your article.
Articles are also a collaboration. No one person is the 'author', and everyone is free to any articles, so long as the changes don't contravene our guidelines.
What we want from YOU!
We want you to write articles for Wikinews that:
You find interesting: If it's of interest to you, it will be interesting to many other people!
You feel isn't getting adequate coverage: Do you know of an issue that has been forgotten or isn't getting enough attention in the rest of the press? Here's your chance to tell the world!
Is important to you: The news you write can be about a global event or what's happening in your local town — we don't mind!
But we also want you to and expand the other articles you see here. Unlike in any other news source, when you see a mistake or something you know to be incorrect, you can fix it!
OK, get me started!
