The Newzulu UK Reporter of the Year will be awarded to the most outstanding contribution overall. In addition to publication on Newzulu.co.uk and eligibility for cash prizes, submissions to the Newzulu UK Reporter Awards will be distributed to domestic British and global media outlets including television and radio broadcasters, newspaper and magazine publishers.
Newzulu.co.uk is the UK bureau of the world’s leading crowd sourced news and citizen journalism publishing platform and news wire service, established in partnership with the Agence France-Presse (AFP) as Citizenside.com in 2007. Newzulu is headquartered in Paris and operates in the UK through it startup London bureau, with other local bureaus networked worldwide to distribute and publish photos, videos and articles contributed by over 150,000 citizen journalists in over 150 countries. Newzulu.co.uk was established to provide a global publishing and distribution platform for UK citizen journalists, who are able to submit local UK news, photos and videos, for distribution to British and international media outlets.

Crowd sourced news and citizen journalism is playing an increasingly prominent role in traditional media with smart phones capturing photos and videos of news events from the perspective of Britons who are at the scene at the time the news breaks. Citizen reporters are also able to offer their independent opinions on issues without being subject to the editorial constraints of traditional media outlets. Newzulu.co.uk provides a platform for citizen journalists to publish photos and videos they capture and to instantly distribute and sell them to media outlets in the UK and around the world. Newzulu UK offers media outlets access to breaking news from the perspective of Britons who witness news events on an instantaneous basis.
“We are delighted to announce £5000 in prizes for our news citizen journalism award program in the UK, the 2013 Newzulu UK Reporter Awards. Newzulu sees the growing importance of citizen journalism in the media landscape and we believe these Awards will surface outstanding news reporting from smartphones in the hands of ordinary citizens.” Said Alex Hartman, co-Founder of Newzulu.
