GroundUp is a news agency. The articles are made available for republication, usually under a Creative Commons license, to news publications.They report news that is in the public interest, with an emphasis on the human rights of vulnerable communities.They want our stories to make a difference.
They value high-quality, ethical journalism.They are independent and do not promote any political party. Controversial news stories are fact-checked before they are published.They try to write in plain language.They also solicit and publish opinion pieces.They prefer opinion pieces that are fact-rich from people who work in the field about which they are writing.
I collaborate with them as a freelance photojournalist. The first assignment that I did for them was about the violent taxi Strike in Cape Town, that happened on the 19th of September.
