Like you may have read previously I am doing a bachelor of journalism and I found two news websites Upstart and Newsfix. Both of these sites encourage not only uni students but the general community to submit there works whether it be a news story, information about a current event or photos these sites want to publish your work. All they ask is that it be something that the public would be interested in. I really like this site as I have been told in my course that whilst in Uni it is pretty much mandatory to make a portfolio and this is a great starting base. Creating a portfolio is pretty daunting, but I have spoken to the editor of Newsfix personally and he is so flexible that he is prepared to make a category if your news story doesn't fit in one already previously made. Upstart is a Melbourne based site, but one that hopes to grow....Newsfix is a little closer to home in Brisbane.
So this was just a site that I really liked and thought I would share on my blog.
