1. The Importance of Citizen Reporters
Why I Created Vox Report
Jerry Godwin, Founder

2. • Are you happy with your current news network?
• Do you trust the integrity and rely on the content
of the news networks?
• Do you feel you get the whole picture on the
topic being reported?
• Tired of the reporter being the story vrs the
actual story?

3. Neither was I…so I created Vox Report…
• What is it?
-User Driven news reporting platform
• How is it different?
-Not linked to gov’t or legacy news corporation
• What does it do?
-Provides an unfiltered, unedited person-in-the-street
perspective

4. As someone who has lived, travelled and
worked all over the world, I was dismayed at the
lack of accurate and relevant reporting of news
events that I had witnessed or been affected by.
In most instances, important events did not
receive or had sustained accurate coverage.
Levels of distress increased when the reporter
would become the focus of the story…

5. Vox Report is an app and web platform that
expresses the Voice of the People-Vox is Latin
for Voice. Vox Report allows the users to break
free from relying on legacy news outlets and see
and hear the genuine perspectives of fellow
citizen reporters from around the world.
