Submit Your Own Video News or Tips to Our Editors
By HoqueAI.TV Editorial Team | August 2025
Introduction
In today’s fast-paced digital media world, breaking news doesn’t always come from the newsroom—it often comes from people like you. At HoqueAI.TV, we believe in the power of community-driven journalism. Whether it’s a sudden event in your neighborhood, a powerful speech at a local town hall, or an inspiring human-interest story that mainstream media missed, your voice matters.
This article is your comprehensive guide on how to submit your own video news or tips to our editorial team—and why doing so helps shape the future of democratic, participatory news.
🎥 Why Your Contribution Matters
For decades, news has been delivered top-down: from networks to viewers. But thanks to smartphones, high-speed internet, and AI, anyone can now become a contributor to the news cycle. Citizen journalism is not a trend—it’s a movement. Your footage, insights, and firsthand experience can:
- Expose injustice
- Showcase local heroes
- Fill gaps in coverage
- Break stories faster than traditional reporters
Whether you’re a student journalist, an eyewitness, or just happened to capture something newsworthy on your phone, your submissions play a vital role in our editorial process.
