Could somebody give me the websites that pay for citizen journalist.?
I want to write some stories from Nepal.
I don’t know if there are any web sites that pay citizen journalists. CJ is still at a nascent stage even in developed countries. If you want to file stories from Nepal, you should look at newspapers, web portals that have an interest in your country. Like India, for instance. News organisations there should be willing to buy content from you. Try approaching dailies like The Times of India, Telegraph, Hindustan Times or web portals such as Sify, Rediff Indiatimes etc. But then all these organisations will ask for experience in reporting, writing and ask for credentials and references. Good luck.

Citizen Journalist/youth advocate for local newspaper?
I am 15 years old, and am an aspiring writer. Do you think its possible to get in the newspaper, as a youth advocate with a regular column? Would I be out of line to ask for pay? Any information would be wonderful!
no not out of line and i believe it exhibits the capacity of initiative and self starter both great attribute for that line of aspiration
