THE FEED

When you've got a great news story, but you want someone else to write it, be sure to use our Storybank. It's a great way to let our reporters know about it.

Sometimes you don't have time to write a story yourself.

Sometimes the story is about you.

So what do you do when writing an article yourself just isn't going to work? Pitch it to our reporters in our Storybank. Using this simple form, as shown in the above screencapture video, will let our reporters know of a story in need of covering. 

 

The Storybank: it's your direct line to our citizen journalists.
