Just a few hours ago I have had the pleasure to have a great conversation online with Michael Tippet, who, out of beautiful Vancouver has recently launched a grassroots world news coverage service where anyone can have a voice.
NowPublic is in fact much more than that.
Users can in fact suggest news stories of all kinds, either by picking on existing mainstream media news or by writing and submitting their own ones.
One of the key ideas behind PublicNow is the one of nominating news items for extra coverage. As news are submitted other NowPublic users can vote for them while raising their visibility in the news space. Other users can then add their additional coverage or commentary on the selected news assignment and even add their own footage to it.
Not only.
