Is writing your dream work? Are you learning how to thrive in the new age media landscape? Urban Times is the place for you because that’s exactly where we are heading. Urban Times is a social publishing platform to read, share and write a better world. We started with a simple premise: news and media is too negative. So we dedicated ourselves to building a community of thousands of writers to discuss issues that could improve things for everyone. After all, that should be our priority as humans. Our platform let’s people do just that and every day the site becomes more and more of a social content network for world changers. HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE We believe that activists, bloggers, writers, graphic designers and journalists need a place to come together and join forces. If you consider yourself an optimistic forward-thinker, it’s about time you got in touch. Once you sign up to Urban Times you will be immediately able to comment and upvote all of the content that you find. To begin publishing content yourself, simply write an article and your first two pieces will be reviewed by one of our editors. We love long-form and investigative articles, shareable micro-content and listicles. As you build your kudos on the site, by earning points from upvotes on your articles and comments, you will reach a point where you will be upgraded to correspondent. At this point you will have a regular editor to work with and the opportunity to be commissioned for articles. HOW URBAN TIMES ANSWERS THE CONTENT MARKETING NEED OF NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPANIES We are a for-profit enterprise and we want to grow. We think that the way forward is to work with companies and non-profits that deserve to have their impact felt, and only those brands. If you are a brand manager or a company interested in creating content with Urban Times, get in touch for a complementary consultancy session and pricing. charlie [at] urbantimes.co
