Gore's Current TV enlists Web users to shape news
Current, the television network backed by Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore, is embarking on a new Internet strategy to enlist viewers in submitting video and commentary to create broadcast TV news.
The network, which already lets professional videographers submit video news segments, is going several step further on Monday by soliciting user feedback over the Web and converting submissions into online news as well as pieces for broadcast.
Its network programming runs on cable and satellite broadcasters in select U.S. markets, Britain and Ireland.
In introducing a new site for viewers and contributors at Current.com, the company claims it has created the first fully integrated online and television network that allows users to create and vote what news and information is relevant to them.
