Heliopolis is an online news source that is focused on delivering Shreveport and Bossier City news and culture online. Our group of existing and former contributors are all volunteer and have produced hundreds of articles and taken thousands of photographs all in the name of covering a variety of local topics from arts and entertainment to news, along with the occasional satire. We have historically kept our doors wide open to new contributors, allowing anyone to come and go as inspiration strikes. Though nothing has changed about that, today we are making a direct and open call for new contributors to help expand our reach and coverage.

02 28 2015_0055We need more eyes, ears, and voices to help bring the vibrancy that is our community to a public that desperately wants to know what you do. We want to discover new artists, bands, filmmakers, traditional and performing artists. We want to see newt takes on theater, nightlife, clubs – culture in all forms – plus opinion, community updates, and government accountability. Contributors of all kinds are welcome. If you are a writer, photographer, videographer, or are big into Instagram and Twitter, we want you to help us share all the things going on in the SBC.

facebook_event_1656790491232426Our contributor group meets together in person on occasion to discuss ideas and topics over drinks, but most of our communication happens online using Facebook so that we are all up to date on the content and due dates. If you are interested in contributing to Heliopolis – one-time or on a recurring basis and in whatever form you have to offer – we welcome you to reach out to us to let us know how you can open the eyes of our readers to the things you see and hear in Shreveport and Bossier City, please fill out the quick form below and our editors, Chris and Landon, will work with you to help us continue to be the voice for the underground.
