A Few Quick Tips
We look for content that:
- Has been ignored, censored, mis-represented, or under-covered by the mainstream media
- Feature stories covering the progress of social & environmental movements
- Is in English or has English sub-titles
- Is of national and general interest, regardless of where the person lives.
- Has the potential to go viral with a large audience - if you can't see lots of people wanting to share it, it's probably not up to snuff
- Focus on the root problems that affect social progress and the main bottlenecks impeding change
- Focus on the root solutions that will break the bottlenecks, getting right to the root problems
- Cover stories of people living and building the world they want, now
- Are fairly non-partisan and avoids unnecessary antagonism, divisionary rhetoric, fear-mongering, hype, etc
- Offers a fresh or alternative perspective that steps outside of the established "frame" of debate
- Has a long "shelf-life," containing information and ideas that will remain relevant and useful for people browsing the archives of the subject tag(s) that the content was filed under
- Is incredibly well written - If the ideas are great but the presentation is poor, find the content in a form that makes the same points but with a more polished, engaging presentation
