EmpireReport.org is a non-profit, micro-local news agency
that relies entirely on our community of volunteer writers, photographers and
videographers. We are looking for new
volunteers to expand the scope of Empire Report. We want different age ranges, political
views, genders, sexual orientations and ideals to join the team of volunteers. We are looking for people to write about
local sports, politics, wine, events, business, and entertainment or anything
else you are passionate about.
We want to hear your special stories. For example, have you been
arrested, survived cancer, are a teenager, lost your job, have a
special needs child or another special story.
We also have a need for people in each geographic region –
such as Sebastopol, each section of Santa Rosa, Cotati, Rohnert Park,
Cloverdale, Asti, Healdsburg, Windsor, Roseland, Petaluma, Penngrove, or any
other town or region.
Volunteering for Empire Report is a great way to stay
connected to your community, gain recognition, and make a difference to
everyone in your area. It is our goal to
cover those issues that are important to our community. If you are a Petaluma pothole expert, we want
to read your report. If you have strong
feelings about annexing Roseland, we want to hear your opinion. Your view matters to us and to the people in
your community.
In return for your expertise and efforts, you will get a
page where you can give a bio, a link to your business or group, and the
opportunity to write about things the other local news sites would never
publish.
If you are interested in contributing, please write
larae@empirereport.org and tell LaRae
what you would like to cover, if you would like to write, do video or take
pictures and a little bit about you. Thank
you in advance for understanding that we are all volunteers and can’t offer
payment to our contributors at this time.
