Reporter.co.za - new citizen reporter media site

The publisher of the Sunday Times, Sowetan, Sunday World, The Herald and Daily Dispatch in South Africa has launched a new citizens' media site, Reporter.co.za, according to Cyberjournalist.net.

“reporter.co.za will be looking for fresh news, reviews, columns, features and community-orientated articles from members of the public in the form of stories, audio, images or video," the company said in a press release.

"Contributors will have access to reporter.co.za’s virtual newsroom, where they will learn valuable tricks of the trade — a brilliant opportunity for people to publish their work with the guidance of experienced journalists.”

The site will pay contributors a nominal fee and if it’s a breaking news item, the story or photo could be published in the group’s print publications, with commensurate payment."
