About

At its core, 101Reporters is a network of freelance journalists and acts as a bridge between them and media houses. We accept story ideas from reporters, fine-tune them and pitch the media houses. Once a pitch is approved, we help reporters deliver a well-rounded story. We edit the story and send its polished version to the publisher. We receive payment from publishers and we transfer it to the reporters in the first week of every month.
