Hi
Welcome to Wikinews.

You don't need to be accredited in order to report for Wikinews. Accreditation is something you apply for after you've contributed some, so we've gotten to know you.

The two main kinds of articles we do are synthesis articles, where all the information comes from two or more sources published elsewhere (but the presentation is all your own), and original reporting, which is advanced, challenging, and highly valued. A variant form of original reporting is the photo essay. We generally recommend starting with some synthesis, to learn the writing style and let us get to know you. We do have a somewhat steep learning curve (though some people have more, or less, difficulty with it). We try to help folks up it; just remember, not every article makes it, but pretty much every article is in some way a learning experience and so gives experience for future articles.

You may find WN:PILLARS helpful as an overview of how the project works. --Pi zero (talk) 01:37, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
