So you took the plunge: you signed up to be a reporter for The Rapidian! 

Once you're a New Reporter, you'll have a mentor to help you along the way-all the way from coming up with that first story idea to hitting publish on your article. But somewhere in there, your story has to be added to our website.

To walk you through step by step on that process, we've created this little instructional video. For more information, talk to your mentor or contact Rapidian staff. We'll all be happy to help you get from signing up to getting published!

 

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.

We need your help.

If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.

Please support The Rapidian and make a contribution today.

Comments, like all content, are held to The Rapidian standards of civility and open identity as outlined in our Terms of Use and Values Statement. We reserve the right to remove any content that does not hold to these standards.
