What makes it in? The community decides.

The best part? 20% of every dollar they generate in advertising gets split with the people who make the Knews happen: writers, readers, evangelists...anyone looking to turn extra brainwidth into extra cash.

It’s fun, it’s free, and it’s easy to get started.

Propose Topics

Got a nose for news? Think you know what the world’s going to be talking about tomorrow? Speak up and propose a topic—like “Giants Win The Superbowl!” Inspire at least one fellow Knewsie to write about your idea and it’s got a shot at getting published — and you’ve got a shot at getting paid.

Submit Stories

You can submit stories in response to topics suggested by the community, or follow your instincts and write about what you think is important. Content can be original (created by a Knewsie), or syndicated (linked from another news source) and may include articles, photos, and video. If the community thinks your content is Knewsworthy, not only does it stand a chance of getting published, but if it’s original content you could earn another $150 on top of your share of the day’s ad revenue.

Choose Your Favorites

They want to know what YOU think is news. Unlike mainstream media, Knewsroom™ leaves the decision of what’s worth publishing up to you. So yes, if enough people want to see a story about something no one else is covering, it’ll be in tomorrow’s Knews.

This is where it gets really cool. The more involved you are in Knewsroom,™ the more power you’ll have to shape it. You accumulate watts—our official community currency—by being an active member of the community: suggesting topics, writing stories, voting, and referring other members. The idea is to invest your watts in what you think should tomorrow’s Knews should be. Just like on Wall Street, your return on investment is determined by the risk you take. You can invest in Topics—which are kind of like mutual funds (lower risk/lower return), or you can bet on Stories—which you can think of as individual stocks (higher risk/higher return). Of course, you can diversify and do both. Like everything else at Knewsroom,™ it’s entirely up to you.

Get Paid

Each day at deadline, Knewsroom™ fires up the press and runs a sophisticated matrix algorithm to determine the Top 5 Topics and the Top 5 Stories each section. If you happen to bet on a winner, not only will you get your share of all the watts that went invested into the winner, but you’ll get your cut of the ad revenue generated that day — that’s real cash money, credited to your own Knewsroom™ MasterCard.
