NowPublic

NowPublic was a social news platform where everyday users could share and discuss current events, photos, and videos in real-time. It combined user-generated content with traditional news, allowing people to contribute eyewitness reports and multimedia around the world. News stories could be collaboratively curated and verified by the community, offering a diverse and immediate perspective. Launched in 2005, NowPublic aimed to democratize journalism, empowering individuals to participate in news creation and dissemination. In 2009, it was acquired by the large media company Canada.com, integrating its user-generated content into mainstream news outlets.
