What we are looking for

News tips

Something happening in your area that others have not reported yet.

Press releases

Official announcements from organisations, schools, clubs and businesses.

Community events

Festivals, fundraisers, tournaments and gatherings worth showing up for.

Your own story

A personal account for Zaku Voices, told in your own words.

How it works

You send it

Email us the story with as much detail as you can. Photos and documents help.

We check it

An editor reads it and checks the facts with you and other sources before anything is published.

We publish or reply

If it is a fit, we write it up and send you the link. If not, we tell you why.

Please include

  • A headline and a short summary
  • Where and when it happened
  • The full text, or the release as an attachment
  • Who we can talk to, with a phone number
  • Your name and contact, so we can verify (kept private)
  • Photos you took yourself, or have permission to share

We protect sources

We will not publish your name or details unless you clearly agree.

We verify first

Claims we cannot check do not get published, however big the story.

News is never paid

We do not charge to publish news. Paid promotion is labelled and handled by our advertising team.
