Now everyone can be a news reporter or journalist

NowPublic is a website which empowers everyone to gather and report news events from around the globe. The site enables contributors to upload text, photos, videos, and audio reports. Users of the site may view or submit news items in several categories, e.g. crime, culture, emergencies, health, sports and technology. Although the site pays for certain instances of reporting, most news is contributed by volunteer reporters. I find the concept fascinating—to be able to find out news before the major media outlets have a chance to send a news team to an event, or even to learn about events that conventional media outlets will not cover. News censorship may now be obsolete. Nonetheless, the veracity of reports may be an issue, and would be subject to fine tuning by other contributing reporters and the editors of the site, similar to the Wikipedia process.
