News2: Changing of the Guard - Old News Technology Bows to New Technology

It all started during hurricane Katrina…

It can be compared to Reality TV. There was a weird time during Hurricane

Katrina when Network News had to cover the hurricane via a user’s blog because

that was the only live coverage available.

So that was like Reality TV only it was “Reality News”. Not produced, just live

and put up. Basically the Network news or production news was unable to cover

the story as well as a person at the scene, hooked up to the Internet with a

webcam and a Blog.

This guy had awesome videos of the storm that he kept putting up on his website

and they kept showing them on CNN. So as you watched CNN, you were actually

watching someone’s blog.

Instead of “Network News or produced news” this is news as it comes in. The

Internet was designed to keep working even during a nuclear disaster. Network

News doesn’t have that kind of technical reliability.

This is a case of the old infrastructure not working, despite how much it cost.

A citizen journalist, with a webcam and an Internet connection had more access.

The question is, what if Network News had a source they could go to that had

the means for anyone to put up a news story immediately for access by the media?

What is available now is audio, video and text without uploading anything. All you

have to do is simply enter the URL for your MP3 audio or FLV video file and submit

your text. That’s it!.

NewsMediaRelease.com replaces traditional press release services online,

which are prone to misuse because the information is held in a queue for 12-24

hours before release, whereas NewsMediaRelease.com is truly fresh, off the wire,

breaking news.

Instead of paying a “contribution” from $81 to $600 over and over,

the customer only has to pay one time for unlimited releases with audio, video,

social bookmarking and search engine optimization built in.

New Media Release company offers advanced distribution of Press Releases and

News Articles using advanced search engine optimization, audio, video and

social bookmarking. Customers pay one time for unlimited media releases.
