COMMUNITY
Get Involved
The Colony connects the people already building Oklahoma to each other. Here is how to be one of them.
Become a county correspondent
The vetted standing: assigned to named counties and published under your own byline on that county's desk.
Submit a story or news tip
Two different things, deliberately. A county report is published under your own name after an editor reads it. A tip is confidential — no account, and we do not record who sent it.
Become a contributor
The same application. Tell us what you would file — reporting, a column, or video — and pick Both or Not sure if you are not sure.
Propose a show
A podcast or a programme you would host. Tell us the idea, who it is for, and what you have made before.
Volunteer
Time rather than copy — events, distribution, or helping a county desk get started.
Sponsor or advertise
Two different arrangements. Sponsorship underwrites the work and is named. Advertising buys space — never coverage — and members read ad-free either way.
Host an event
A proposal, not a listing. Nothing goes on the public calendar until somebody here has checked the date, the place and the source.
Partner with The Colony
Organisations, newsrooms and institutions who want to work together on something specific.
If none of those fit
Contact us and say what you had in mind. We would rather read a message that does not fit a category than lose it to one.
