In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in newsroom operations. Media houses are increasingly engaging reporters on work basis, not full-time. We intend to soften the blow.
We believe important stories fail to find space in national media not because publishers are not interested but because they don’t have reporters to report them. And also, there are scores of grassroot journalists looking for a platform. We are providing them one.
We at 101reporters.com aim to enable thousands of grassroots (English & Vernacular) journalists to share news reports that are important and deserve space in national media. With technology and a team of experienced editors, 101reporters.com is predicated on bridging the gap between demand and supply of news stories.
Stories sourced from reporters will be curated and syndicated. A substantial part of the revenue from a published article will go to the reporter.
Over the next six months’ time we will have at least one reporter reporting from each of the 625 districts of India.
