Guidelines for contributed works

Articles

Articles should be stories worth telling. The subject of these stories can be anything ranging from entertainment, profile pieces and politics. However, writing is not solely limited to this. The subject of a piece can be whatever the writer wants, they have complete creative control. All we ask is that its appropriate for a general audience. The use of extreme profanity or other harsh language will be omitted or not published. The use of AP style is encouraged in your writing.

Listicle

Listicles are list articles. They are content presented wholly or partly in the form of a list. These articles are often titled “The 15 celebrities you didn’t know were dead” or “10 superheroes who can beat Batman, and 10 who can’t.” These pieces are popular on social media and often require a decent amount of research. Appropriate language and AP style are encouraged.

Visual

Visual pieces can be either photo heavy articles, slideshows, videos, stand alone photos, galleries, original illustrations and more. If it is a video, the Daily Planet will happily feature it on our YouTube Channel and share it on all of our social media platforms. We will also embed a contributors own project as well, as long as it reflects our code of ethics. We stress the use of appropriate behavior, language and gestures in this section. We also encourage creativity. Have fun with this medium.

Audio

Audio submissions are mostly podcast style stories full of individual opinions, reports on current events or just general discussion on variable topics from around the world. Complete creative control is granted for every submission and audio is no exception. Have fun.
