How does Memeza work?

However, unlike traditional media, we open our editorial review process to visitors to the site and ask people to submit news that they think should be read by others. All stories start off as an uncoming news item. With sufficient votes, an upcoming news item is treated as breaking news and is then promoted to the home page of our site.
How do I submit news?

To submit a link to your news item, click on the Submit News tab at the top of the page. You will be asked to enter the link of the page where your news item is published. You may optionally enter a headline, related tags, a brief description of the news you are submitting and the related category and then click on Preview and Submit. Once you've reviewed your news item click on Submit Story. Once your story is submitted, it will appear on the Queued News page. If you story gets enough votes, it will appear on the home page of the site available for everyone to read, comment on or vote on.
