Qualify for contributor access
DB Reporter by Dainik Bhaskar is built for people who want to cover news from their own locality or city. Applicants are expected to have at least three years of reporting experience, strong Hindi writing and speaking skills, and the ability to write, edit, and make videos.
Access follows a selection process rather than open self-registration. Selected applicants may be asked to complete document verification and share bank-account details before they can use the contributor workflow.
Send local news from a phone
Once approved, contributors can use DB Reporter by Dainik Bhaskar to send timely reports about events and developments in their assigned area. The mobile workflow is intended to help a stringer move from seeing a local story to filing it while details are still current.
Submissions can cover issues that matter to a neighborhood or city, bringing smaller local developments into a wider newsroom. Contributors remain responsible for accurate reporting and should follow the publisher's editorial expectations when preparing each item.
Create articles and video reports
DB Reporter by Dainik Bhaskar accepts both written news and video, so contributors can choose the format that fits a story. A short local update may work as an article, while an event with important visual context may be better served by video.
The app gives approved reporters a dedicated route to send this material for editorial consideration. A submission is not automatically published, and the contributor should expect the newsroom to decide whether it is suitable for the Dainik Bhaskar audience.
Follow publication and earnings
When a submission is published, DB Reporter by Dainik Bhaskar can connect that work with a fixed payment for the news item or video. The program also offers readership-based bonuses, so the number of people who read or watch an accepted report can affect the reward.
Contributors can use the app to see how much they earned through submitted work up to the previous day. This view helps a reporter follow day-to-day results, but earnings depend on publication, audience response, and the program's current terms.
Build a relationship with Dainik Bhaskar
DB Reporter by Dainik Bhaskar is designed as a part-time local reporting opportunity that can be performed from a contributor's home city. It also gives selected reporters a chance to work with experienced Dainik Bhaskar journalists and learn from their newsroom practices.
Consistently strong work may lead to consideration for a full-time role with Dainik Bhaskar, but the opportunity is not a guaranteed job offer. Applicants who need details about the program can use the contact address published on the application page.
