The Concept First

 

If you wish to contribute contents particularly articles, photo and video stories, send us a small concept first. Please do mention in a few lines about what you intend to present, the source of your information and whether you will be developing the content alone or with a collaborator (Say a photographer/ videographer). Please do share you address phone number for ecoNE editorial team to get back to you. 

 

Your concept may fall under one of the several types of contents that we are already hosting at our website. However, we are open to your ideas beyond our already classified types and we do not want to limit creativity and originality by our existing categories. Hence, feel free to contact us with your idea and inspire us to work towards making ecoNE a progressive environmental media platform for the Northeast.
