NowPublic

So what I got from NowPublic is that it is a very large citizen journalist site. According to the site, it has thousands of reporters in over 140 countries.

NowPublic was created by a company based in Vancouver, Canada and is the largest news organization of its kind. The site is funded by Rho Ventures, Rho Canada, Brightspark, GrowthWorks and members of the New York Angels.

This site utilizes the bloggers, writers and photographers around the world to create its contentand does a good job of it. Multiple sources show that this site is effective such as Time Magazine naming it one of the top 50 coolest websites of 2007 and During Hurricane Katrina, the site had more reporters there than most journalistic organizations have on their entire staff.
