Identity-verified journalists in every district of Uttar Pradesh, with track records. Post a brief, get applicants, pay through escrow.
Apply as a buyer
Choose beats, regions and languages. Ranking is neutral and published: newest first unless you sort otherwise.
Post an assignment with a budget and deadline. Matching journalists are notified within minutes; you choose who to work with.
Licence by language, territory, media and term. Your editorial control is written in: what runs, and how, is yours to decide.
Pay once into escrow per deal. GST invoices for Daylight's fees and a monthly statement.
Completed deals, on-time delivery, disputes lost and ratings, from deals only.
Track record
Two seats on the standard plan, five on Pro.
You are, as with any freelance contribution. You keep full editorial control and do your own checks.
No. Daylight checks identities (journalists) and registrations (buyers), never stories or evidence. What a pitch says, including the evidence it lists, is the journalist's own statement, and each newsroom checks a story before it publishes it. Nothing on Daylight is described as a “verified story”.
Contacts are shown once escrow is funded. Repeat work can run as direct deals at a 5% total fee.
If a dispute is decided in your favour, or the journalist withdraws, unreleased escrow is refunded with the matching share of Daylight's fee.
