Guardian Witness



Guardian Witness about:

GuardianWitness is our new home for content you've created, online and on your mobile. You can contribute your video, pictures and text, and browse all the news, reviews and creations submitted by others. Posts will be reviewed by our team and suitable contributions will be published on GuardianWitness, with the best pieces featured on the Guardian site – you could even help shape the news agenda.

Contributions fall into three main categories:

1) Assignments. Editors will issue call-outs for your input on a wide range of topics - be it a photograph of the first daffodils, your filmed thoughts on the latest cinema release or a witty re-imagination of a sporting event.

2) Live news tie-ins. Our editors and reporters will sometimes flag live blogs as suitable for contributions, which will enable you to be part of a breaking or fast-moving story. We'll include the best contributions in the live blog - for instance your experiences of austerity protests around the world or your videos of the latest extreme weather event.

3) Open suggestions. This is where you can send us something that we haven't requested. There are two main elements.

1) Send us a story: This might be a tip-off or something you may have witnessed in your local area that you think we might want to see. We're always looking for unreported stories, so we would like to hear about things that we might decide to follow up as a story for the Guardian.

2) Send us your assignment ideas: Have you got an idea that your think other Guardian readers would like to participate in? It might be a simple but beautiful idea such as asking everyone to take a picture at a certain time of day or it might be a way of investigating an issue in more detail. For example asking everyone to share the cost of parking at their local hospital. Or it might simply be an interesting or funny assignment idea which doesn't fit into any of our current assignments.


Assignments will be updated regularly so check back for new assignments and contributions. The GuardianWitness badge will appear in lots of places where you can get involved on the Guardian site, so keep an eye out for it on your favourite areas.

The project is supported by EE, the first providers of 4G in Britain, who are transforming the way people share news, information and entertainment. 4G works up to five times faster than 3G so you can upload and download photos, videos and stories more quickly than on traditional mobile networks. With EE, you're part of a network for the new digital age.
