Hello, and welcome to steemit. I am participating in a contest, and would like to include you in it. The contest is sponsored by @apolymask, and this is Information Finding Championship - Season 1 : Round 5 of what will be a lengthy contest. This portion of the contest is find a new person to sponsor on steemit.
          Please do not feel I am doing this only as a part of this contest. I do like helping people out. Along with the contest, I also participate in @mudcat36 and @davemccoy #newbieresteemday project. That is a project that is designed to help get new users a boost, and help them learn about steemit. The majority of the people participating in this project all have less than 1000SP, so we are all pretty much considered redfish/plankton. 1000SP is when you hit minnow level. Clicking on the tag will show you some of what we do.
          Along with the contest, (I enjoy some of the contest on steemit), and the #newbieresteemday project, I contribute and help get off the ground the #informationwar tag. Being as you described yourself a citizen reporter you may link and wish to follow that group @informationwar and @stevescoins - He is the one that started #informationwar tag, and is the owner of the shared account - @informationwar.
          Let me know if there is anything you need help with, and I will try to help or point you in a direction you may be able to find help.
