Newsvine
[tags]news, newsvine, journalism[/tags]
Well I found a news site that I can finally agree with which gives people the power of journalism. It’s called Newsvine! I like to keep this blog as technology related as possible so I don’t get into other aspects of life that interest me. However, I must promote this since it’s such a great idea! (Well I think it’s a great idea!)
Thomas Jefferson said, “A press that is free to investigate and criticize the government is absolutely essential in a nation that practices self-government and is therefore dependent on an educated and enlightened citizenry.” We live in a time when media ignores the crucial information and promotes news that makes them money. This is a way for people to fight back.
While Newsvine isn’t like traditional news company, it has aspects of it combined with the social networking revolution that is going on. So it’s a combination of the old with the new. This is great since not everything everyone says is objective and it is good to have objective sources in the news, actually it is very important!
Anyways I don’t think I described anything of relevance other then a very, very general overview of what Newsvine is. So go check it out! My “column” is here.
