I'm from a Caribbean newspaper and I'd like my content sourced on caribDaily. How do I go about this?
Ideally, you provide caribDaily with categorised RSS feeds for your content. The next best option is a non-categorised RSS feed. However, not having RSS doesn't mean you can't be sourced. Contact the admin to work something out.
