Empire Report is where YOU make the news.
You know what's important. You uniquely know what your friends like to see & read. Why not submit something and share a little bit about what you know best? It's a piece of cake.

Consider writing any length Empire Report.
Empire Report will always be a fun project. We're currently all volunteers around here, and it just isn't worth doing unless it's fun!
And, we're rewiting the rules of news. It's exciting, and we'd sincerely like you to participate too.
As Empire Report grows and expands, we have all kinds of opportunities to do whatever we desire. Whatever YOU desire. Ever thought of having your own column in the newspaper? Ever wanted to review restaurants? Now is the perfect opportunity!
Empire Report is based on the core element: A "Report".
Anything can be a "report". The vast majority of reports are freely contributed by your friends and neighbors. Some Empire Reports, however, can be paid gigs.
EmpireReport.org intends to always make sponsorship & advertising useful and not in-your-face annoying. And, we also know that quality journalists deserve quality pay. That is actually what we're here for... and to generally improve news in our neighborhoods. Every neighborhood has an underbelly that should have some light shed upon it.
Empire Report is a nonprofit. Not a fat-cat corporation. And we firmly believe that credibility is king.
