Much of what societies know about themselves comes from people who are not professional journalists: nurses who notice a pattern, teachers who see what a policy does to a classroom, workers who understand how an industry really operates.
A platform, with standards
OneTree lets any member publish. That openness comes with clear labels. Every article states whether it is news, opinion, analysis, a personal story or something else. Member writing is identified as member writing, not presented as verified journalism. Sponsored and campaign content is always disclosed.
What we ask of contributors
Separate what you know from what you believe, and say which is which.
Cite sources for factual claims, especially in investigations.
Disagree with ideas, never deny anyone's humanity.
Correct mistakes openly.
Challenge ideas and systems. Never attack someone's humanity.
What contributors can expect from us
Transparent moderation based on published rules, not popularity or political viewpoint. The right to appeal. Ownership of your work, including the ability to export or remove it. And an editorial team that reads member writing seriously, because some of the most important reporting begins as a personal story.
This is sample editorial content created to demonstrate the platform.
Written by
