Group Description

Welcome to You Witness News, a citizen journalism feature of Yahoo! News. You can submit photos through this group for consideration on Yahoo! News. If accepted, your photos will appear in the You Witness News slideshow on Yahoo! News, and may accompany breaking news stories.

To see specific instructions on how to submit your photos, visit You Witness News.

When you post a photo to this group, it means you are submitting your photo for consideration to Yahoo! News. Do not submit photos to this group if you don’t wish to submit them for consideration. Our photo editors will review all submissions to the group; if your photo is accepted, and we have any questions, we’ll get in touch with you via the contact information you provide in your Flickr profile. Please be sure you read and understand the Permissions you grant to Yahoo! when submitting your photo (below, “Permissions and Representations”).

We ask you to limit the photos in this group to those depicting news events. Of course, news doesn't have a strict definition, so submit what you consider news and we'll see what our editors think.

Note that any submissions to this group that editors deem unacceptable will be removed from the group, and not considered for Yahoo! News.
