Publish Your News Story

Please use this form to contribute new stories and ideas. Comments belong with the story being discussed - to have your say in response to a story on the site, use the "add your comments" link at the bottom of each story.

Please Note
If you have a question or request for our editorial group please use the contact form instead of publishing a story, as this will bring the matter to the attention of the editorial group in a much speedier fashion!

Editorial Policy
Indymedia is a democratic newswire. We want to see and hear the real stories, news, and opinions from around the country. While we struggle to maintain the newswire as a completely open forum we do monitor it and remove posts.For more information see our Editorial Guidelines page.

File Uploads

Please use this if you want to upload one or more files with your story. Select the number of files you wish to upload and then click on the let me do it! button. You will be taken to a form which allows you to upload everything at once.

We think that all content published on this site should be free for non-commercial reuse, reprint, and rebroadcast, on the internet and elsewhere, and we think that Copyleft is an idea which should be central to Indymedia. Because of this, all content published on this site is done so under these terms by default. However if you want to publish content under different terms and conditions, you must clearly state these terms and conditions in the text of your published content.

For more information on copyleft and open content concepts check out:

After your content has been published, it may be edited, linked or even deleted by the editorial collective running this site. Please read our privacy and disclaimer statements before publishing.
ACCEPT TERMS & CONDITIONS: By ticking this box I accept all the above referenced terms and conditions which means that all content I am about to publish is free for non-commercial reuse, reprint, and rebroadcast, on the internet and elsewhere, unless I have EXPLICITLY stated otherwise in the text of my content.
At busy times it may take some time to upload your story - please help us by clicking on the 'Preview Before Publishing!' button once only. This will take you to a preview of your story where you may decide to edit it again before finally publishing.
