What kind of content is welcome here?
ReportIT is a place to post your news: great stories of events near you, or your own take on issues making headlines. News comes in all shapes and sizes, but there are a few things every story should have in common:

  • It’s yoursYour ReportIT should be made up of your own words and images, or those that you have the rights to use.
  • It’s true. ReportIT should be about real events, or real opinions on events. It’s not news if you make it up.
  • It’s new and interesting. The best ReportIT teach us something new or start a fresh discussion.

What if my story is difficult to stomach?
Sometimes a story that has news value can be hard to stomach. If you’re posting material you think may be difficult for sensitive audiences, mark the “discretion advised” checkbox and the RIPPLES ReportIT tools will add a warning to its page. Please also note what is not welcome.
