Report.tv. Citizen journalism, web-video style
The video sharing site Report.tv based in St. Louis has launched in alpha test this week, reports Contentinople [via NewTeeVee].
"Its intent is to put the news in the hands of amateur anchorpeople reporting community-based news. Citizen journalism, web-video style.
"... Report.tv offers targeted channels for specific geographic regions in the United States and will allow for content to be uploaded from users into these channels.
Current.tv perhaps pioneered this idea, bringing together user-generated videos and video journalists offering their take on the news, both as a cable TV channel and online where users can create their own programming.
Friction.tv, a destination for user-generated news and opinions in the U.K., formed a partner deal with Five News bringing its videos onto the evening news.
Ctzn.tv will bring video journalists from around the world together on one site as well as accept submissions from its community."
