Citizen Journalism and www.newsotronic.com

www.newsotronic.com is designed to be one of the premier resources for local news on the web.  We have tried to make the site as open as possible and it is really up to the community to decide what goes up on the site.  At this point we don’t have editors and we’re hoping they won’t be necessary as this would put a filter on the news which is not in the spirit of what this site is about.

For the professional journalists, citizen journalists and activists in the community, www.newsotronic.com is provides an outstanding set of tools to enable you to report on news in your community as effectively as possible.  Our first set of tools provides basic authoring/editing/commenting capabilities as well as traffic reporting to measure the effectiveness of your content.  In the planning and implementation stages are tools to enable posting content from mobile devices and photo uploading.  We’re constantly adding new features and when possible we will provide a schedule for the availability of these new tools as we continue to progress.

Welcome to www.newsotronic.com - striving to be the best choice for local news

We quietly launched www.newsotronic.com in October and November of this year. This has been the culmination of a 9+ month effort of nights and weekends to create a set of services dedicated to providing the most complete local news resource on the web. Our focus will be on news and only news. Some may refer to the content as “local news”, “community news” or even “hyper local news”. Basically, anyone can become an author and post news articles. The site is self governing and you are in control of getting rid of content that may be deemed as inappropriate or irrelevant.

www.newsotronic.com is designed to allow both sides of a story to be given. If readers feel facts are incorrect or an opinion is not in agreement with their own, then the commenting features will allow the other side of the story to be told. Some may even be motivated to become authors and post their own rebuttal articles.

What is the best feature of the site? You are the media! The site really can’t be accused of having a “media bias” because again, you are the media.

At this point, www.newsotronic.com is completely self funded and will eventually become profitable through the sale of advertising to local businesses. As the site gains traction, we expect to become a highly desirable outlet for local businesses to purchase advertising. Local news is accessible by city/state or zip code and our advertisements will be associated directly to locations to make them incredibly relevant to readers.
