Monetising citizen journalism

Post what you see. If a newsroom licenses your footage, you get paid.

  1. Download the app and post your photos and video as normal. Posting is free for everyone.
  2. Subscribe in the app or on this website by card to switch on monetisation. Only subscribers can be paid, and you also have to be approved.
  3. Newsrooms license it. When a story of yours is sold, Yapp buys your footage once, for a set fee, under the app Terms and Conditions.
