Contributors
PK Forefront understands that readers want to build a direct relationship with the news provider, and they also want to learn about expertise and experience. So that readers have the right information about contributors’ areas of expertise, we provide disclosures and other data.
PK Forefront (including Video PK Forefront)
To establish more relationships with its contributors, PK Forefront has launched the Digital Identity Project: every contributor will have to verify his or her real identity through a hard identification document (such as a passport). The verification of all the PK Forefront modules has already been completed, and their implementation is expected to be finished by 2023.
All of the above information is accessible on the PK Forefront profile page—linked within any news article or video produced by this organization—and some of it can be found directly on its news article pages.
Compensation System
PK Forefront is a meritocracy, and we are transparent about our compensation practices.
News articles on PK Forefront are rewarded when their readers provide an engaging experience. The more engaged a reader is, the higher the compensation for each news article. To calculate the earnings possible on PK Forefront, writers can fill out this table and find out how much they could make. The fee is calculated based on the number of engaged readers (unique visitors) reached within 30 days from publication—which means that pieces of content are ranked according to their popularity after a month’s time.
The actual amount of compensation may vary according to how engaged the readers are with your content and special temporary bonuses.
However, it pays to write high-quality news pieces and investigative stories for PK Forefront.
PK Forefront uses several internal (proprietary) and external anti-fraud tools to detect fake traffic, bots, or simply unengaged visitors resulting from click baiting or other spam-related activities. Driving fake or unengaged traffic to your PK Forefront campaigns is against our policies, will not be compensated by us, and may lead to suspension or expulsion from the community.
