Medium wants to make sure the writers in the platform create meaningful content that is unique, special, distinct and worthwhile.
We don’t need average content any more, not on Medium or any other news publication or media platform. The world needs great reporting with a human angle, written by writers who care about their work and who put their own personality into the content.

- Teach from your experiences. Readers want to learn how others overcome struggles and conquer personal demons.
