That all means site users will have to respect journalistic standards if they don't want to be excluded from the service. EPN cannot be considered a news agency. An international agency can't manage each individual's professional and fiscal status. EPNworld allows journalists to file original copy as either news or a feature in over 200 categories. Articles are immediately posted for sale to a global network of member editors and publishers.
Editors can also hire journalists to perform new work.
In turn, the NWU, one of the most active protectors of journalists' rights in the United States, will promote this special relationship to its 6,600 members. Furthermore, both EPNworld and the National Writers Union will soon publish a joint declaration of journalist's rights. EPNworld sees the partnership as validation of its commitment to journalists' rights. Increasingly, publishers and editors are demanding full copyright from freelancers submitting features. We are proud to be associated with the NWU, who are pioneers in this field.
