Writer Programme
Help improve political understanding across the UK with evidence-led reporting, clear analysis, and fair public-interest journalism.
We prioritise UK politics, policy, accountability, and stories that matter to communities across the country.
Every submission is reviewed before publication. We value evidence, clarity, and responsible reporting standards.
Published work earns fixed GBP rewards during our launch phase, with read milestones unlocking higher amounts.
| Milestone | Reward |
|---|---|
| Reaches 500 unique reads | £5 |
| Reaches 1,000 unique reads | £10 |
| Reaches 10,000+ unique reads | £42 |
| Reaches 100,000+ unique reads | £100 |
These rewards are a trial launch model. We plan to evolve this into a more democratic and progressive structure as we learn from real participation and outcomes.

Our admin team reviews applications and responds with a decision.
Approved writers can submit articles for publication review.
If published, your reward can increase as your article reaches read milestones.
All writers must adhere to these rules. Failure to comply may result in rejection of your work or removal from the programme.
Every submission must be unique to UK Fact Check. If the story already exists on another website, news outlet, or blog, it will be rejected. Writers who persistently submit non-original content will be removed.
All articles must be supported by at least two independent sources. You must supply all sources and supporting evidence with your submission. Additional documentation may be requested at any time.
Every submission is run through our AI fact-checker. Articles scoring below 60 are automatically rejected. Ensure all claims are verifiable before submitting.
We accept stories about UK politics, UK news, and world politics and events. Off-topic submissions will not be considered.
We are especially looking for detailed, well-researched fact checks. These perform well with readers and are often among the highest-remunerated articles on the platform.
While AI tools may be used as research aids, submissions that are clearly AI-generated without meaningful human editorial input will be rejected. Persistent offenders will be terminated from the programme.
