RiiS

See what’s happening around the world through people on the ground. RiiS is a global platform where people share photos, videos and first-hand information about events happening around them. Explore reports on an interactive world map, discover what is happening nearby or follow situations developing in other parts of the world. Become a RiiS Reporter and give your photos and videos the chance to reach the media. When you witness something relevant, you can publish a report directly from your phone and share what is happening from the place where it occurs. Your content may be valuable to media organizations looking for original photos, videos and first-hand information. With RiiS you can: • Explore reports from around the world on an interactive map. • See what is happening near you through content shared by local people. • Publish photos, videos and first-hand information. • Add updates as a situation develops. • Help fight misinformation by marking reports as reliable or unreliable. • Send a report confidentially to the RiiS team. • Be contacted if your content may be of interest to media organizations. Public reports can be viewed by other users on the map and in the feed. Confidential reports are sent privately to the RiiS team. If selected for publication, they may be published without the author’s name or personal details. RiiS helps turn local perspectives into a global view of what is happening. From community events and travel disruption to severe weather, accidents or unexpected situations, RiiS connects people on the ground with people who want to understand what is happening. Media licensing program If a report attracts media interest, RiiS may contact you to request your authorization and discuss possible licensing conditions, including potential remuneration. The RiiS media licensing program is currently in beta. Not every report will be selected or licensed, and publication does not guarantee remuneration. RiiS will always contact the author before agreeing to any licensing or commercial use of their content. Join RiiS, discover the world through people on the ground and become part of a global network of citizen reporters.
