About News Souk
News Souk is a two-sided marketplace connecting independent journalists and content suppliers with publishers and editors. We bring verified profiles, transparent rights licensing, and secure escrow to every transaction — so original reporting can be traded fairly.
We give independent and local journalists a stage to showcase their beats, track record, and original work — reaching newsrooms they might never have met otherwise.
Reporting has value. News Souk creates a transparent marketplace where original stories and pitches are licensed and paid for on fair terms.
Verified, identity-checked members, secure escrow that holds funds until delivery, and mutual ratings build trust on both sides of every deal.
