Are you tired of reading--or writing--bad news? Ready for something positive, uplifting, and edifying for a change? Feel like looking on the bright side? Want to walk on the "sunny side of the street"? Look no further: HappyNews.Com is a place you'll want to visit.
HappyNews.Com is a website where you'll read stories of optimism, kindness, heroism, people helping (instead of harming) people, and myriad other positive things happening around the globe. And one of the best things about this site from the writer's viewpoint is that they are seeking "Citizen Journalists" to "write about news important to their communities."
This is a great opportunity--particularly for those who may be interested in entering the field of journalism--to build a journalism portfolio, gain experience hunting down a story, perfect their interviewing and writing techniques, and meet those fascinating people who are on the front lines of the latest-breaking good news.
While the folks at Happy News don't pay up front for the stories they publish, they offer each freelance Citizen Journalist a tip jar and link to their website on each article posted to the site. This gives readers the opportunity to support the writer's contribution to the good news appearing on the site. (All tip jar payments are automatically transferred into the writer's PayPal account.) Every contributor receives a byline, as well as all the insider hints, tips, and advice they'll need to become a savvy, ethical, credible, competent, and libel-free news journalist.
This link will take you to the HappyNews.Com Submissions Page.
If you have any interest at all in either journalism or good news--or better still, both--check out HappyNews.Com!
Happy reading!
