"I get asked, on a daily basis, about the trust factor in user generated news. The new features NowPublic just released are our answers, and, frankly, I think it gets to the heart of the matter in a way that traditional media has never been able to - by being transparent and open." - Leonard Brody, CEO of NowPublic.com

VANCOUVER, British Columbia/PRNewswire/ -- NowPublic.com (http://www.nowpublic.com/), the world's largest participatory news network, today announced the launch of three new features that raise the bar for trust and credibility in a crowd-powered media platform and community. These features include a member ranking system, a presence stream and a news dashboard.

NowPublic was founded to empower the average citizen to capture and chronicle the news around him/her. It has distinguished itself in the burgeoning crowd-powered media space as the category leader with reporters in more than 5,500 cities and 160 countries.

mtippett, I like this story.


Thanks for all of your great efforts in making NowPublic such an important information networking hub.


I'd love to see those world-wide membership numbers floating on the banner: 

"reporters in more than 5,500 cities and 160 countries."
