NowPublic in the News: Archives
In 2005 NowPublic became a recognized leader in the emerging field of citizen journalism. By harnessing the wisdom of crowds and tapping into the news creating potential of the hundreds of millions of Internet users, bloggers and photography enthusiasts, NowPublic is changing the way news is made and distributed.
Here are a sample of the over 60 articles that have discussed NowPublic over the last year.

Gannett To Change Its Papers’ Approach
Gannett Co., the nation’s largest newspaper chain, is radically changing the way its papers gather and present news by incorporating elements of reader-created “citizen journalism,” mining online community discussions for stories and creating Internet databases of calendar listings and other non-news utilities. Elements of Gannett’s plan are seen elsewhere. Rosen recently founded the Web site NewAssignment.net, which bills itself as “an experiment in open-source reporting” and is being partly funded by the Reuters news agency. Another Web site, NowPublic.com, claims of 31,000 citizen reporters in 130 countries who post news, photos and video to the site. NowPublic reporters were active in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. |

Gannett to Crowdsource News
The publisher of “America’s newspaper” is turning to America to get its news. According to internal documents provided to Wired News and interviews with key executives, Gannett, the publisher of USA Today as well as 90 other American daily newspapers, will begin crowdsourcing many of its newsgathering functions. Starting Friday, Gannett newsrooms were rechristened “information centers,” and instead of being organized into separate metro, state or sports departments, staff will now work within one of seven desks with names like “data,” “digital” and “community conversation.” Other large publishers are already experimenting with bringing readers into a more participatory role, and a host of citizen-journalism projects like NowPublic and NewAssignment.Net have sprung up in the last few years. But because of its reach, Gannett’s move could bring these issues into the mainstream. |

‘Highlight tool’ touted as an easy way to make news
This week NowPublic is introducing its new ‘highlight tool,’ that allows users to capture a piece of relevant text from the Web, add a headline and comment and post it not only to NowPublic, but also to their own blog. “In many cases that will be something you see in mainstream media, but more often it will be something on a blog that you feel is under represented,” said NowPublic co-founder Michael Tippett. |

The Crowd sourcerer
The June issue of Wired magazine coined an interesting buzzword: “crowdsourcing.” It’s like outsourcing, but with a large number of unpaid or low-paid amateurs. For Mike Tippett, it forms the basis of what he wants to accomplish. NowPublic.com, the Vancouver-based news site he built on that notion, is the result. It opened for business on the Web a little more than a year ago, and is now ramping up its marketing and outreach. “What I want to accomplish is simple,” he said. “I want to build the largest news organization in the world.” |

Dance of Diplomacy Is Grist for the Gossip Mill
Sometimes it has seemed that all Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice needs to do is show up in public with a man, and people start talking. The single, sophisticated American secretary of state once drew notice for wearing black stiletto knee-high boots with an above-the-knee black skirt while reviewing American troops in Germany, so she is bound to attract gossip. That is particularly true on the dry, acronym-ridden diplomatic circuit of NATO meetings, APEC forums and Asean conclaves, where much imagination has focused on possible romantic links between Ms. Rice and her counterparts. …”If you believe the blogs, Mr. MacKay has been sweet on Ms. Rice since their first meeting in Washington last year. “Peter McKay has a crush… ” said a headline on the Web site NowPublic, atop a giant photo of Ms. Rice, “…on Condoleezza Rice.” The subhead continued: “Well, they are both single after all.’’” |

When Condi flies north, diplomatic gossips feel the earth move

When `stars’ collide
“STELLARTON, N.S.—There are perils to being unattached in the stodgy world of diplomacy. Sometimes it has seemed that all Condoleezza Rice needs to do is show up in public with a man, and people start talking. The single, sophisticated U.S. secretary of state once drew notice for wearing black stiletto knee-high boots with an above-the-knee black skirt while reviewing U.S. troops in Germany, so she is bound to attract gossip. That is particularly true on the dry, acronym-ridden diplomatic circuit of NATO meetings, APEC forums and ASEAN conclaves, where much imagination has focused on possible romantic links between Rice and her counterparts.” |

Social media and the London terrorist plot
“Anyone who remembers the London subway bombings probably recalls the dozens of cellphone-camera photos of disheveled victims and twisted metal in the chaos of the London underground — pictures that became a powerful sign of how important “citizen journalism” or “social media” can be during such events. So far, I haven’t been able to find[ anything quite so dramatic coming out of the British airplane bombing plot (in part because it was foiled before it could take place, of course) but there are bits and pieces trickling in from various corners of the blogosphere and social-media outlets. …NowPublic.com, a “social media” network that is based in Vancouver, had a photo of the scene at Stansted Airport uploaded by a user named ShoZu, with the caption “The scene at stansted airport this morning following the terrorist alert – Taken at 6:52 AM on August 10, 2006.” And the BBC, which has been asking readers for photos and comments related to the plot, has a collection of user-submitted pictures that are similar. CNN has a new “citizen journalism service called Exchange that collects user-submitted video and stories, but at last check there was nothing about the London plot.” |
|
Reinventing web-journalism
“NowPublic has grown in the past 12 months into one of the fastest growing news organizations on the internet with over 15,000 “reporters” in 130 countries and over two million unique visits a month. The company’s bold assertion that during Hurricane Katrina they had more reporters in the affected areas than most news organizations have on their entire staff, speaks to the company’s ambition to remake the face of mass media.” |

VCs Dabble with Canadian Web 2.0 startup
“You’re a small Internet startup based in Canada, and you want access to U.S. venture capital, but you don’t want to have to move to Silicon Valley or hand over 45 per cent of your stock to a big VC group. What do you do? For Vancouver-based Dabble DB, you find a guy like Paul Kedrosky, a Canadian-born venture capitalist and former technology analyst who is based in Silicon Valley but has ties to Ventures West, a Vancouver investment group. …The Vancouver company is just the latest Canadian “Web 2.0″ startup to attract the interest of venture capitalists and/or become a takeover target. One of the first was Flickr, a photo-sharing site and community that was acquired by Yahoo last year for what some insiders say was in excess of $30-million. Several smaller Web-based companies have also received financing, including Vancouver’s “participatory media” site NowPublic, Victoria-based Pixpo (another photo-sharing site), and Calgary-based StumbleUpon, a Web-browsing enhancement application.” |

Citizen journalist: My week
“The BBC News website attracts quite a lot of user photo submissions, partly because they ask for them, and partly perhaps because the website is high profile and is the first place that people might think of to send their photos to. During the week I was there, we saw photos sent in of summer solstice celebrations and the ‘balloon orchestra’, as well as some World Cup photos. The popular photo-sharing site Flickr had quite a few of these photos too, some of which made their way onto the collaboratively-edited Wikinews website and the news website NowPublic.” |

One-stop web
“Popurls also links to new content from Wired, Google News and Yahoo! News, Reddit, Flickr, Nowpublic, Shoutwire and a host of other places. Think of it as the web guide to the web guides, if you like.” |

The online connection
“Getting together with like-minded people is evolving into more than chat groups — there are websites, some for business, some for friends If you’ve got a hankering to flock together with like-minded people and do it on the Internet there’s likely a cyber-neighbourhood just waiting for you to move in. ” |

Public Outing – The public decides what’s news
BusinessWeek – The Cutting Edge: Michael Tippett, the founder of NowPublic, explains the startup’s approach to citizen-controlled media. Based in Vancouver, NowPublic enables collaboration between traditional reporters and the public. Members select stories in the news and add information or photos to them. As the public filters the news by itself, it decides what’s important. visit the site or listen to the podcast. |

If You See News, Where Do You Report It?
One of the ideas behind citizen journalism is that anybody who witnesses something newsworthy can photograph it, videotape it or write about it for the rest of the world. But one of the conundrums of citizen journalism is where do you do that? You could start a blog or put the information on your existing blog. You could try a citizen media service such as NowPublic or try to sell your story to a mainstream or local news outlet. |

Harnessing the content flow
Web 2.0 innovation is… “…part of a grand experiment to harness the content flows for every kind of user and on every kind of device. Who will be winners? Digg, Technorati, Sphere, Memorandum, Rojo, TailRank, Newsvine, NowPublic, Reddit, Google, Yahoo, MSN to name a few of the more well known or well funded players. Who knows? Take them for a test drive…” |

Citizen journalism north of the border
Seattle, Washington, January 25, 2006 I just got off the phone with Michael Tippett, the chief executive of Vancouver, B.C.-based NowPublic.com. Tippett caught my attention this morning with an e-mail that began: “Web 2.0 + News 2.0 = NowPublic V3.” …Tippett said the site has attracted about 10,000 members, with big public events, rallies and disasters drawing a lot of attention. During Hurricane Katrina, he said about 2,000 people were reporting news to the Web site from the Gulf Coast. “That’s more people than the AP had,” he said. “During major news events, you get these crazy groundswells of contributions.” |

Talking about a revolution
Seattle, Washington, February 10, 2006 It is with good reason that startups such as Backfence, Digg, Findory, NowPublic, Reddit, Tailrank, Wet Paint and others are attempting to transform the way we consume news. More ad dollars are moving online and large media companies haven’t quite figured out how to adapt. |

Remixing the blogosphere
Bloggers may have sparked a media revolution by democratising journalism, but there are early signs that a new breed of website will take the idea further. Online independent media hubs are letting people collaborate in new ways – and the focus is mostly on multimedia work, rather than text. Blogs suffer from their individualistic nature, says Clemencia Rodriguez, associate… |
