OpenGlobe is a volunteer-driven citizen journalism website dedicated to the production of relevant and unbiased news under a free license. It is a wiki, which means that anyone can edit it, including you; submitted articles are reviewed by trusted users for neutrality and accuracy before going live.
OpenGlobe is a citizen journalism project dedicated to the production of relevant and unbiased news under a free license, where reporters are normal people like you, not paid journalists. Everyone is welcome to contribute, regardless of background or experience.
Our stories are unbiased and act as a platform for intelligent, serious news reporting and discussion. We especially encourage first-hand reporting, where contributors act as primary sources and get the news from 'on the ground'.
This model gives us an advantage over existing citizen journalism websites, many of which function as blogs or hyperlocal sources that don't provide a comprehensive outlook on the global situation. OpenGlobe's contributors - all of whom volunteer their time to write for the project - come from all over the world, including North America, Europe, and Oceania, ensuring a truly global viewpoint on the news.
OpenGlobe also strives to develop a team of informed reporters and writers who are dedicated to covering the news on a regular basis. By increasing participation in the media - by putting the pen in regular people's hands, rather than the hands of multinational corporations - OpenGlobe hopes to build a global community of knowledgeable, empowered citizens committed to free information and neutral media.
