Publish as an independent journalist in India

Approved reporters publish Original reports on United One News under their own byline and author page. A small agency, regional desk or student paper can run its own desk, with an editor supervising its reporters.

1. Sign in with Google, as any reader does. 2. Open Become a reporter and send the short application: the name for your byline, your city, what you will cover, and up to three links to published work. 3. Once an editor approves it, the Reporter role is added to the same account and you get a notification. Compose, drafts and your author page then appear. Questions: partnerships@unitedonenews.com.

A moderator supervises a group of reporters. Each reporter has one supervising moderator. Reporters publish their own stories; their moderator can edit them, take them down with a stated reason, and restore them. Apply in one email: name the editor who will supervise and list each reporter with the email they signed in with.

If your byline already has an author page, you can ask to claim it. Verification is through an outlet email address or a direct message from your social account.

Every Original report is labelled by type: report, explained, analysis, opinion or fact check, and a report can be marked as a ground report when you were there. Each piece shows how it was done and links its sources, and is always listed for search engines, even with one source or none.
