Newsvine
Social Media Platform
Newsvine is a social news platform, community-powered: a collaborative journalism news Web site which draws content from its users and syndicated content from mainstream sources such as The Associated Press. Users can write articles, seed links to external content, and discuss news items submitted by both users and professional journalists.
Members decide by their actions what news makes it onto the site and what news is removed.
Users can write their own articles and upload their own photographs or choose from a list of Flickr photos registered under a Creative Commons license for addition to the post.
Because it's community-driven, users who enjoy reading an article/seed or agree with its content are encouraged to vote for the content. Articles and seeds with the most votes appear in the "Top Wire," "Top Seeds," or "Top of the Vine" sections of the site. Users bring together big and little media in a way which respects established journalism and empowers the individual at the same time.
