Vision La Manga wants you as a journalist

On the last 4 years we had received hundreds of phone calls of the people of La Manga & Cabo de Palos suggesting topics and pointing sensitive situations that later became news stories. We are a local paper that belongs to this community. Follwing that line, and using the advantages that Internet now give us, we want to open a tribune for the citizens to be able of creating and publishing their own news stories.

The ideal process is to give out a user account to each citizen that asks for one so that he could directly publish his sotry on our website. However, it’s necessary to create  a filter because we only could accept texts created in a serious manner that accomplish a minimum level of journalistic formalities. Rule number one: contrasting the information. Texts that accomplish this requirment will be welcome. We will, of course, take the liberty of touching up sentences and phrases when the text demands it, and we think there is no need in warning that we will not publish rude texts or others full of unsustainable negativity.
