NowPublic - Participatory News Network of Citizen Journalism

Category: Daily Featured Websitesilovegajeebo @ 10:16 am

NowPublic is a participatory news network which mobilizes an army of reporters to cover the events that define our world. In twelve short months, the company has become one of the fastest growing news organizations with thousands of reporters in over 140 countries.

NowPublic lets citizens from all over the world write and contribute to news stories by sending in text, photos and/or videos. The site certainly employs the notion of “crowdsourcing,” as it is essentially a Wikipedia-like news service.

Major news corporations including CNN, BBC, MSNBC, and Gannet have all begun to include citizen-collected news content, and most recently the Associated Press partnered with NowPublic.com to incorporate their citizen content in stories and breaking news events.

NowPublic will be able to automatically group input from various users into hubs on developing stories. Whatever gets the most votes from the reading masses—the site gets about 1 million unique vistiors per month—ends up as the lead story.

The company’s long-term goals aren’t necessarily to become a social news destination, but rather become a news content supplier to other media sites and/or companies.

Other news companies could ultimately use NowPublic’s expansive reporting base to quickly cover breaking news and in other cases provide supplemental news coverage.
