What “30% sponsorship share” means
When your reporting helps generate sponsorship revenue for a news category, Ariana Global News distributes 30% of that sponsorship income to the volunteers who contributed to that category. That means your local reporting can convert into real earnings — and if your work is picked up by major international outlets, that opportunity becomes even greater.
This model rewards effort and impact: the more important and widely-read your reporting, the greater the potential share you can receive. We want to make sure community storytellers are not just heard — they’re supported.
Training and support you’ll receive
No prior journalism experience? No problem. Volunteers get guided, practical training that includes:
- Basics of citizen journalism and ethical reporting
- Mobile newsgathering techniques (video, audio, photos)
- Writing clear, factual short reports for online audiences
- Digital safety and protecting sources
- How sponsorships work and how reporting contributes to category revenue
Training is hands-on and created with volunteers in mind. Our goal is to make reporting accessible, safe, and impactful.
Who can join
Ariana Global News is specifically inviting girls and women across Afghanistan to participate. We welcome:
- Students and recent graduates
