SELL YOUR STORY TO 'HYDERABAD NEWS NETWORK' (HNN)

By EDITORIAL PANEL

How can I contact HNN?
The fastest way is to call our journalists on +91 9000504008.

You don't need to worry about the cost of the call either - as we'll call you back right away!

We'll tell you immediately if we like your story and, if appropriate, give you an idea of what it could be worth.

You can also email us on editor@hyderabadnews.net or text us on +919000504008.

Remember to include a phone number - preferably a mobile - where we can call you back.

How much is my story worth?
A big exclusive used on the front page could be worth thousands, but a smaller story will be worth less.

The only way to find out how much YOU could make is to call us now.

But remember - don't tell another newspaper / reporter / website.

Your story is worth much more if you only tell us.

What happens when I tell you my story?
A reporter will call you to check the facts and arrange a meeting, if necessary.

They may bring a contract which obliges us to pay you when your story is published.

When will I get paid?
You will get your money by cheque or paid direct to your bank within a few weeks of your story appearing in the paper.

In very exceptional circumstances we may be able to make a payment to charity or pay you in cash.

Can I sell pictures too?
Yes, exclusive pictures are worth big cash to you. And if you have pictures to back up your story, it may be worth more.

What kind of stories is HNN looking for?
Anything you can see being published in the paper. From celebrity exclusives to medical miracles to cheating politicians, we want your stories on them all.

We also love heart-warming real stories about our amazing readers, so if you've triumphed over tragedy, give us a call.

Can I remain anonymous?
Of course, and we always protect our sources. However, if the story involves you directly, it may be worth more to you if you are named and pictured.

Call +91 9000504008 in confidence and we can discuss all your options.

Will I get more from another paper?
No. The HNN is the biggest and the best. And we look after our contacts, unlike our grubby "rivals".
