PUBLICi - Open Journalism
The news industry is going through dramatic changes for quite some time, especially in the last few years. As a result, the institutional media companies offer fewer opportunities, thus leaving more and more journalists, both new and savvy, to build their careers on their own.
Unfortunately, there are several obstacles. Building anything bigger than a simple blog is costly and may require software development and IT knowledge. Furthermore, marketing expertise is crucial for bringing in traffic. Apart from (basic) SEO, current blog platforms offer little help in getting readers.
The PUBLICi Platform (currently in Beta)
PUBLICi is an online content distribution platform which enables a writer or a group of writers to create and operate their own online newspaper, fully-featured, at no cost (a freemium model). PUBLICi also supports a simple and painless growth from a single blog to a multi writer newspaper.
The platform enables articles to mature and improve over time due to users' and interested parties' contribution of information, tips and multimedia.
Readers determine news quality. Thus, the most engaging articles are transparently and automatically funneled into PUBLICi's main site, where no higher authority sets the news agenda, only the public, thus insuring the elimination of prejudice and censorship. Writers whose articles reach PUBLICi's main site gain exposure to the core mass of PUBLICi's readers, a unique and powerful opportunity to greatly increase own readership.
Using the right tools is vital to journalists' success, and PUBLICi is the only online platform dedicated to news.
