News bureaus and station chiefs are now in place in Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt,
Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Pakistan; citizens interested in reporting
local and regional news are encouraged to submit their work. Additionally,
Allvoices is offering an incentive program that ensures citizen reporters get
paid for news submissions.

Work submitted by citizen reporters will be featured on Allvoices' "Best
of the Middle East" section on the site's front page. In addition, each
country with a Global News Desk will also have a featured section on the
Allvoices' site.

"We're looking for passionate citizens who want to share a unique,
in-country perspective on news in their communities and on how global events
impact their own countries," said Aki Hashmi, Chief Marketing Officer at
Allvoices.com. "This is an invitation for citizens of the Middle East to use
our powerful news platform to bring their own views to citizens in the U.S.
and Western World whom generally get their information from solely Western
news sources."

Middle East citizen reporters can now contribute reports directly to
Allvoices or request news assignments from the leaders from their respective
country's Global News Desk. Current and former journalists in Middle East
countries are encouraged to consider posting work to the site and will be
paid for these contributions as well.

Today Allvoices is the largest citizen journalist site in history and
features stories, video and images from more than 300,000 contributors daily.
This fresh approach to news and reporting has allowed the site to quickly
build an audience of 4.5 million visitors.
