News Wanted

Think of this as a trumpet blast, calling anyone within distance of a breaking or important news event. This isn't just for journalists or photographers, this is for anyone within driving, walking or running distance of this story. Or maybe you know someone who was there?

If you think you can help shed some more light on a subject or story, this is your chance to shine. It's as easy as adding your comments to any existing story, or even just uploading a photo to our site, where other users will link it to appropriate stories to give them context.

This flag also recognizes a story as important or breaking and requiring further coverage.

A story is marked as News Wanted if it is:

• A breaking event
• Important and recent
• Needs local coverage
