1. Premiere Global News Sharing Service
Technology has evolved in such a way that the transfer of data
occurs in an instant and updates can be shared with a few
swipes or clicks in real-time. But even with technologies that
allow for real-time coverage, broadcasters and news agencies
still face some challenges in local news acquisition.
For one, it is impossible for news companies to have in-house
reporters and videographers in every possible location at any
time. News organizations cannot guarantee presence of a news
crew during emergencies.
All media companies also have to contend with cost and
sustainability. Reducing cost is part of running any media
company, having to deliver more with so much less, because of
increased competition in both traditional news space and
emerging platforms.
Also, the appetite for news consumption is now insatiable. There
is an explosive growth in demand for up-to-date local news. As
much as news outlets dream of being present everywhere to
support this demand, that is simply not a possibility, at least not
with their own news crew.
NewsApp is a premiere global news sharing service that aims to
bring broadcasters, news networks, and ordinary citizens
together into a more efficient and mutually beneficial news
gathering process.
NewsApp is developed to address the challenges in local news
acquisition. With NewsApp, broadcasters and news networks
can augment their traditional news gathering process by
crowdsourcing news footage from the very people who are
present when breaking news happens. For citizen journalists,
NewsApp gives them a platform to reach news networks and
incent them to capture and submit news in real-time.
