For Those Bold Enough to Write for Knickpoint Media
Welcome to the official content submission portal of Knickpoint Media — a powerhouse platform where stories are sharpened, perspectives are challenged, and journalism is elevated.
We welcome contributors, writers, analysts, creatives, and thinkers to submit content — but with one important condition: only excellence passes through our gates. If you’re here to casually throw words around, please, don’t waste your time. But if you’re here to write something that resonates, that changes conversations, and that holds power — then read on. You just might belong here.
1. By Submitting, You Agree…
By sending any written material, photographs, videos, or creative content through our submission portals, you agree to the following terms and conditions, which bind you and Knickpoint Media in mutual understanding and respect. This document outlines your rights as a contributor, our editorial rights, and the standards we expect from everyone who dares to write under our name.
2. Quality Over Quantity. Always.
We are a premium platform, and we treat our content as a reflection of our brand. Every submission must be:
- Original
- Well-researched
- Grammatically polished
- Formatted for clarity and readability
We do not publish:
- Plagiarized content
- AI-generated articles without human editing
- Poorly written or rushed pieces
- Clickbait with no real value
- Sensational claims without credible evidence
We expect:
- Clear structure and logical flow
- Strong intros and definitive conclusions
- Engaging language and correct sourcing
- Balanced neutrality and bold opinion where relevant
If your content doesn’t meet our standards, it won’t be published. No hard feelings — just editorial policy.
3. Our Editorial Discretion
Submitting your work does not guarantee publication.
Knickpoint Media reserves the right to:
- Accept or reject submissions
- Edit for grammar, clarity, or tone
- Rework titles and headlines
- Add or remove media assets
- Assign appropriate tags and categories
We may reach out for edits, clarifications, or revisions. We aim to nurture contributors — but never at the cost of quality.

Unless otherwise stated:
- You retain ownership of your original content
- By submitting, you grant Knickpoint Media a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, publish, and promote your content across all media channels

5. Originality is a Must
All submissions must be original and unpublished. If it has appeared elsewhere, please disclose this in advance.
Plagiarism will result in a permanent contributor ban.
6. Tone, Voice, and Style
Our editorial voice is bold, factual, and thought-provoking.
Preferred tone:
- Confident, passionate, and informative
- Culturally grounded, globally aware
- Assertive — but never offensive or hollow
Avoid:
- Corporate lingo
- Academic monotony
- Overused clichés or fluff
Think of our style as BBC meets Shujaaz with a touch of The Atlantic — proudly Kenyan.
