Publish a New 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 that is already 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, use the Contact Form instead of publishing it as a story. The newswire is for news only and not any discussion of editorial policy. This takes place on the open mailing lists and using the contact form 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.

Step 1: Choose Number of Attachments (optional)   Collapse/Expand
Please use this if you want to upload one or more files with your submission. Select the number of files you wish to upload and then click on the button. You will be then be able to upload everything at once through this form. Maximum uploads: 5

Step 2: Input the Basic Contents - Required
Author
Required
Enter your name or pseudonym Anonymous pseudonyms are allowed but please do not abuse them. Impersonating others or adopting many different names to make it appear as if there are many different people who support your view are both considered abusive. This rarely works and is just a good way to discredit your arguments. Impersonation is considered grounds for removal according to our editorial guidelines
Organisation
The organisation to which the author belongs (if any) It is often useful to let people know of any significant political or organisational affiliations that you may have in a debate.
Title
Required
Enter the title of your contribution (descriptive, short and to the point) Do not use ALL-CAPITALS! If your contribution's title is too long, it may be abbreviated in our headlines listings so remember that brevity helps everybody!
Title
Story Subtitle
The sub-title of the story Witty or interesting subtitles are often a good way of catching a reader's attention.
Story Summary
Required
An introductory paragraph to the story. The story summary should generally cover the essential questions of the situation - who, why, what, when, where and how. The body can then expand on these points. The summary will be the part of the story that is seen or our newswire summary pages and newsfeeds - so the more interesting it is the more likely people are to read the whole story.

The summary should not be a duplicated in the main content as the article view page displays the summary followed by the contents.

Step 3: Categorise Your Story - Required
Please categorise your article so that it will be easy to find on the site. Be as accurate as possible - do not choose categories that you think will make your article more prominent if they are not appropriate - You may find that it gets removed altogether instead. If you can't find suitable categories, then consider that your piece may not be appropriate for submission to the newswire.

Note: Indymedia is primarily for original content. You can use the "Other Press" type to post links to articles from other sites, or news about other media. However for "other press" stories, you must provide an original summary along with a link to the article. Do not copy and paste entire articles.

Story TypeStory Region
Please select the type of story that you're posting  
If the article is already available on the internet, you can use the Other Press type to post links to articles from other sites, or news about other media. However for other press stories we ask that you provide a link and an original introduction. Do not cut and paste entire articles - they will be removed and you may find yourself banned from publishing if you repeatedly publish non-original material. 
Event Notices should be notices about events that are open to the public and are located in Ireland. If you select the Event Notice type, please specify the date of the event for the events calendar. 
Press Releases should contain some newsworthy information. A politician or organisation just advertising their existance is not newsworthy. 
Opinion / Analysis pieces should contain some original and properly argued material. An individual announcing that they don't or do like something or other is not appropriate - please put some effort into it. 
News Reports should contain information about something that is both recent (or hasn't been extensively covered elsewhere) and of interest to the public.

 
The more precise you are with your choice of region (ie. not National), the more visible it will be. Do not select National or International unless they are appropriate as they will actually make your story harder to find and could lead to your story being removed.
Story LanguageStory Topic
Please select the language of your story If your language is not listed here, then this is not an appropriate site to publish your news on. You should consider publishing it on an Indymedia site that covers your language. Check out the list of international Indymedia centres.
If you cant find an exact topic, choose the one closest to it.
Step 4: Author Contact Details (Optional)   Collapse/Expand
Note: Any details that you enter in this section will be publicly available on the site. This can be useful if you want other readers to be able to contact you but it's not required to publish. Indymedia is committed to preserving users' anonymity. (It might be a good idea to omit these details if you are under 18.)
