Alwire is a social news network community platform that lets ordinary people become news reporters by posting news and articles. This application relies on ordinary people to report latest headlines, news and updates as they witness new stories thus creating an open system which brings real news by real people.

In this blog, we will write down steps that are needed to post a news on alwire. In this blog, we are only covering the website. Another blog will be added later to show you how to add latest news using alwire mobile app.

How to Add a New Post on alwire.com

·         Add a title - Title must be something catchy that can attract other users.

·         Select an appropriate category for your top news

·         In Description section, add all the details that you would like to add to your story

·         Every news in alwire must be tied to an address where that news is happening. Use the map tool to quickly select your location. Alwire makes it easy for you to pick an address as well. You can type it in or use autocomplete to find it. By default, map will try to 'guess' your location which may be accurate, you can use the pin drop tool to drop the pin at the correct location as well.
