· And remember, YouNewsTV is a place where you can share news, videos, and photos from your life. We moderate all submissions according to our Terms of Use, so please read them. Keep in mind that we may put your submission on TV, so only submit things that are appropriate for broadcast television.

Now follow these simple steps to post your content:

1. On the Submit a story page, your first step is to submit your content. You can add one video and/or up to three photos in a single submission.

If you have a video:

• Click “Browse”
• Locate your video clip on your hard drive and press “Open”
• Click “Attach Video.” You must select “Attach” or the clip will not upload.

If you have photos:

• Click “Browse”
• Locate your photo on your hard drive and press “Open”
• Add a short caption for each photo

2.Once your video or photos are attached:

• Write a headline. The headline is the first thing anyone reads. Make it compelling!
• Write your story. Be as detailed as possible. Answer questions like who, what, when, where, why and how. Remember that readers may not be as familiar with the story as you are.
• Select a channel that would best describe your story. Choosing the most appropriate channel helps others find your story.
• You can also add a tag to make your story more searchable, as well as a location of where the story occurred underneath the “Additional Info” tab
• When you have filled out all of the fields, click “Submit Story”

3. Multiple submissions will require you to re-login.

So, think you are ready to submit your content?
