Breaking News Maker

Breaking News Maker is a community newsroom. Something happening on your street, at your club, in your town? Write it up and publish it — it takes a minute, and your story gets a real news page of its own.

WRITE IT LIKE IT MATTERS
Pick a desk — World, Business, Sports, Travel, Entertainment, Lifestyle and more. Add a headline, a few paragraphs and a photo. The photo does most of the work. Publish, and you get a link that opens as a proper news page, not a screenshot. Spotted a typo after sending it round? You have 24 hours to fix the headline and the text, and the link stays the same.

SEND IT TO ANYONE
Share the link in a message, a group chat, a post, an email. Whoever opens it sees the full story with your photo, laid out like a front page.

A FEED WORTH READING
Everything filed through the app lands in Latest, and the stories people actually read climb the Most Read board. Some of it is local reporting. Some of it is a rec-league final that went to penalties. Both belong.

KEEP IT TO YOURSELF IF YOU LIKE
Not everything needs an audience. Publish privately and your story stays off the public feed — it works by link only, for the people you send it to.

HOW WE KEEP IT SENSIBLE
Every story carries a byline saying a reader filed it. Reports are published as submitted and are not verified by an editor, and the app says so plainly. Photos are screened automatically before they appear. Any story can be reported from the app in one tap and is reviewed by a person, and you can block a poster you would rather not see.

Breaking News Maker is not a news organisation and does not publish verified journalism. It is a place for people to report what is going on around them.
