Report From Your Province: Join Ariana Global News’ Women‑Led Team
Report From Your Province, Change the Narrative
Ariana Global News is building a women-led news team to encourage local reporting from remote areas. We invite girls and women across Afghanistan to join our volunteer journalism network. No experience is needed — only a mobile phone. If you want your voice to reach the world, message us to join Ariana Global News today.
Why local reporting matters
Local reporters tell the stories that are often overlooked. When women from a province report on schools, health clinics, markets, or community initiatives, they change who controls the narrative. Your perspective brings nuance, trust, and access to stories outsiders cannot easily reach.
We now publish directly to Google News, and many of our stories rank #1 worldwide. That means reports from villages and small towns can be seen by audiences across the globe — and can be picked up by major international outlets, increasing both visibility and opportunity.
What we provide
Ariana Global News supports every volunteer with:
- Full training in citizen journalism, reporting techniques, and digital media.
- Guidance on ethics, verification, and safety for field reporting.
- Simple workflows for submitting text, photos, audio, and video from a mobile phone.
- Publishing support so strong stories reach Google News and wider platforms.
- Revenue sharing: volunteers receive 30% of any sponsorships earned from their news category.
You remain a volunteer while gaining professional skills. If your local reports are picked up by major outlets, your work can reach larger audiences — and the financial opportunities grow.
Who can join
We welcome:
- Girls and women across Afghanistan, including from remote provinces.
- Beginners with no prior journalism experience.
- Community members who care about local issues and want to learn how to report them.
- Women who want to amplify voices in education, health, environment, culture, and governance.
All you need is a mobile phone and a willingness to learn. We provide the training; you bring the stories.
Training highlights
Our training is practical and mobile-friendly:
- How to gather facts and verify information.
- Interviewing techniques that protect sources and build trust.
- Basic smartphone photography and video: framing, light, and sound.
- Writing short, clear reports that travel online.
- Digital security and personal safety best practices.
- How to tag and submit stories for Google News and other platforms.
Training is designed to be accessible — short modules you can complete on your phone at your own pace, with mentors available to review your first reports.
Safety and ethical reporting
Your safety is our priority. Training includes:
- Assessing risks before covering a story.
- Protecting identities when necessary.
- Respectful, accurate reporting that avoids harm to individuals and communities.
- Tips for working discreetly in sensitive situations.
We encourage reporters to use safe communication channels and to consult mentors when they are unsure about a story.

Your story matters
When women report from their own provinces, they reshape conversations, correct misinformation, and highlight local solutions. Ariana Global News is committed to a women-led newsroom that centers voices from remote areas and amplifies them on global platforms.
