Are you tired with the current state of media reporting? Do you want to share stories about social change on a global platform?
As most of you know by now, NGOpost is a web based community for sharing news and ideas about various social welfare initiatives. In loose terms you can refer to it as “orkut” for people who are interested in making a difference.
NGOpost is actively seeking writers, who are keen on creating something which would have far reaching benefits.
Some simple questions answered.
Do I need to have writing experience?
Not necessary. As long as you know English and can form meaningful sentences it should fine.
What do I have to write on?
Write about the social change you see happening around you. Or write about the change that is needed. It could be interviewing someone who is silently doing great work, and whose work would be an inspiration for others, or it could be an organization doing great job in its respective field. There could also be generic articles like Open education tools available for schools or benefits of organ donation. Otherwise we have list of unending topics which we want people to write on, you can choose from them.
What is the benefit for me in writing for NGOPost?
- NGOpost has readership in 150 countries around the world and it has been increasing. Your article will reach hundreds of people every day!
- Each month we send out our newsletter, which goes to about ~5k people. Your name will featured there along with the link to your profile. Personally if you are a blogger, that would give your blog a lot of visibility.
- More than all this it is the satisfaction of writing about something, which would be of use to hundreds of people. We keep getting feedback how reading some articles on NGOpost helped them solve their own problems and helped them connect with relevant people.
- Going ahead we are working on the partnership with print magazines/newspapers wherein selected articles from NGOpost will get published there. Hence there is a possibility that your article might go in print
.
So Join the band wagon of people who are keen to make a positive difference. If you are interested or have further queries write to us at goli-at-ngopost-dot-org

Your idea is excellent as it helps our organisation ( GRES ) in keeping up with the latest developments, finding quality information about topics of your interest and establishing collaborations with other knowledgeable people around the globe and this is the best platform for sharing and discussing various social welfare initiatives and contribution

So far I have not read any article or information on NGOpost. I opening this web site for the first time to become a member. I do write but only on a few occasions I sent to the print media. My writings are more for my clarification and deepening my thoughts. I give trainings to the activists and the members of people’s organization.
I found this forum very interesting and I feel if I send my jottings to this site it will help me to learn more from others’ comments and also have a change to debate with others. I also hope my writings will be useful to others.
I am an activist and also give trainings on social, economic, political and issues related to organization and mobilisation of people.

Hi!
sorry that this reply is coming so late!
Badhri: Once you commit to becoming a write on NGOpost, it would be required of you to post articles on a regular (monthly/bi-weekly) basis on topics you choose to write on. Since many of us are already regular contributors on NGOpost, we don’t need to do anything extra. Our names can automatically be added to the Writers@NGOpost section. It is just a place where there is a more committed effort to write articles rather than in a “blog” sense!
Alex: It would be great to have you post article on NGOpost. Since all of us learn in this together, we each will benefit from each other! So, I am looking forward to reading articles about you and your great work!
Mrs. KrishnaKumari: Thank you for the comment. It would be great to read articles on your organization and the great work you are pursuing. Please do try and post articles on NGOpost about your organization to increase discussion and also to let people know about this great effort!

Thanks all for your encouragement and sorry it took forever to reply!
@Alex, Mrs. Krishna: do share your thoughts on ngopost, even if nascent. There are a lot of people passionate about positive change who can give you great ideas. At the same time, all the readers can benefit from them too.
@Badhri: thought a little more about this and want the NP writers team to be a means for grassroots journalism. All users can keep linking articles posted elsewhere/share open thoughts as earlier, but the writers@NGO Post will contribute original, well-researched articles/news/reports exclusively for NGO post on a regular basis. This is to ensure that in addition to linked stories and open and broad discussions, we also have a regular stream of high quality original and deep content.
