Citizen Journalism was the main goal for Now Public when it first formed....And now the co-founders have reneged by selling it off to Big Media... I find this appalling and illegal... I ask you to support an NP Writers Union...by simply joining us... to stop them from destroying what we have been very successful in accomplishing.


It takes management to do their job. First to campaign for advertisers then to create the real money investment plan, by setting up buying citizen journalism private stock... This will not be done through the Stock Market.... Stock money will be held in Trust in an online… Now public sort of tracking banking system.....where money and joining members show full transparency.


Each day we will see who buys Stock…and those numbers add up to NP value and worth....The idea is to get enough buyers so to pay for on air services.... It is hoped the people who provide the on air services will also buy stock....to realize a stable growing citizen journalism site...


Since it is not posted in Wall Street, we will not fear that it can be taken over or lose our money invested. Other good things can be achieved also buy setting up other phases for NP…such as book publishing and online book reading.


I would also apply for Public Government Grants....because this provides a service for everyone.

God Bless

The owners of Now Public set the whole thing up with the intention of selling out for millions, regardless of who bought it.It was a scam right out og tyhe gate and they used many peoples' swaet and blood to make themselves rich.  It's not worth saving Jermano, which is why all those with scruples, integrity, and writing ability, other than you and a couple of others have left this barren site.The guys that started NP and those who still work for them aren't worth the flesh they inhabit!

Right lay down your tools and were all go on strike, the plan is set for April 1st, lol

The real answer is that everybody gives their emails addresses to each other, then we can set up our own site if the policies here change. I don't think they will as members here would leave in flocks especial the hard core writers. I am sure the new owner is aware of that. 

Someone has that in mind already as they asked for my email address a few months ago.

Wow, its amazing what one can find on the internet there is now a totally member owned news community site being tested, I now think I will also design my own in the new year using the same software they are using. We need more sites like that to stop political news media interference concerning citizen journalism. Its really up to us the writers to stop this media buyout thing thanks by the way Rev.

I am getting fed up with the damn pop up advertisement they could of least only placed it on front page and not every damn one.

Babel-Fish you can set your browser to block pop-ups and you can also install Adblock which I've used for ages. I don't see no pop-ups here or I think what is probably an ad on the top but I do see the ad in the right hand column. sometimes an ad opens in another window but not so much. Adblock is available for Firefox, Safari and probably IE but I don't use IE. With Adblock you can also set it to see ads on sites you like to support because many of the small sites need the income.

JB2 we may be able to block ads...but new viewers are not......

You can tell the NP staff cares less to comment here to solve the issue. That is how the big Corporate People act......they never address the needs of the people....only use them; then chuck them in the cyber ditch. That is why Citizen Journalism works so well.....we care about the views and respond accordingly. NP is no longer Citizen Journalism....

Of course I know that the point was a hint to the administration to just put the damn popup on the front page, it worked and they did. I have avg installed it tells me when a popup is being blocked.

My point is popups are making nowpuplic look like a porn site, good responsible web site owners would not dream of using the damn things. Now its just on the front page its acceptable but as a programmer I would not dream of using them its frowned at and damn unprofessional.

So you don't understand what citizen journalism is all about or people that just love to debate the news each day. Or the value one gets out of writing ones own articles on any given subject under the sun. Well I can understand that as I hate football, cricket, soccer and baseball. I have no idea why people enjoy watching such games. Possibly I dont really understand the games that well?  

Its all to do with tastes.

Well it could be deemed as free advertising?

I don't think the posts are worth very much since most news is only of value in the immediate and not in the long term. What was of value is the scan technology and maybe the huge photo collection that was built up over the past year or so.

The flow to where? the ride to where? To accepting the cronies who bought out NP? Never! The point is they want the ride...while we do the carrying...... I say dump their hay wagon organized crime gig.

..The issue is not the way we writers are still able to operate; it has to do with who bought NP.

The fact is NP gains something from the writers whom contribute and now they are making a profit from it.. I have a problem with that..My problem is with the guy who bought NP. There are other things that are troubling.

1.In 2001 the executive he hired to manage his QWest Corporation was indicted for insider trading with Condoleezza Rice..siting lucrative blackbox Telecommuncations Contracts with the government. Now we know this was before the Iraq And Afghanistan War....So what were they planning? And given the information it is telling prior to 911 happening indicates that Condi knew that 911 was an inside job......this puts Anschutz in the middle of this.

2. He has a huge Entertainment Business. I wonder his mental collusion in thinking News is Entertainment... He may think so..But I don't.....and it is a telling attempt to blurr the two professions by this guy....probably intentional because Entertainment makes violence seem not real, oh that could never happen....or so what;  kind of attitude...because we are conditioned so much with violence on TV as not real....so we make no protests about it....So if they mix up our feelings and perceptions with this and in the real world under the tag of News/Entertainment has Anschutz's Empire is....we do not become traumatized by real wars....and the killing and torture of people.... We think well it's like Entertainment.. I have a big problem with this and the brainwashing they committ everyday in our subliminal surroundings.. They are evil people...Even making the suggestion Government Business is Entertainment, or the War in Israel and Palestine is a form of entertainment... is ludacris.

3. He has/ was the last person to be booking Michael Jackson, and the guy who refused to refund tickets when the Pop Star suddenly died. Why is that? He was also moving forward with a deal in selling Neverland to him, that is taking control of Michael Jackson's home. Why would MJ sell his Neverland? He was not that hard up for money...And then his death? I think he was silenced, maybe he knew stuff about Anschutz that he did not want known, so had him tranquilized and murdered.. I would not put it past these people.

4. He owes the IRS a whopping 143.6 million in back taxes. How is it a Billionare does not pay his taxes? Something really corrupt about this guy.

5. Never did like his ploy to snag David Bechum for his New Galaxy in LA. David was lured just like Michael Jackson because of their talented ability and they wanted to use them for their profits and gain.. Just like they are using Nowpublic. David is from the UK and he should play with his team..instead of tempting him with big money...which is ultimately connected to the Secret Inside US Government CIA crooks.

I do believe that NP has a legal avenue to get out of the deal....and that is NP can not make Big Media Bucks from Anschutz because it violates the trust to the writers. It violates the reason NP came into existence and that was an alternative News source..for citizen journalism. They are using the labor of writers to profit from.....It is Internet Fraud...and a Scam. Contributing so they make money, and making you feel good you can write is against the law and an example of ghost slavery, trickery, snake oil charm tactics.

My advice is to form a Writers and Photography Union.. Not the same as UAW...because we won't ask for dues and Union fees. Only the vote and confidence that writers works are not being used to profit from without compensation....and that does not mean staff makes more and the writers make less. If you don't join the Union you are declared as a Big Media supporter...and you can not post articles or photographs in this Citizen Journalist Site.

I for one Steve think Capitalism is the problem...Just look what it did to the United States. Every other country that was forced to become like the West are not that advanced, but we know where they are headed...in the same crap of debt and misery. The Stock Market is the misery index...all people care about is money...instead of each other.. Billionares are billionares because the money is in their accounts....but if they were rich, they would have no money in their accounts because they used it to help other people.....and those other people do the same to other people and so on... People are lifted up to the wealth of caring about each other....But we have something entirely different in the meaning of Capitalism in the world today...It means acquisition, screw the other guy, do the stock market and figure ways to cheat, or talk people out of their money for the sake of the Military Empire and paying the workers who make the guns and bullets....so we can kill those dame fucking terrorists.

And then that rolls into needing more control of resources, and taking oil, and demeaning other countries...friends one day then enemies the next, because we want their oil for power and prestige and control of the world.. They like the division of us against them...because they are always the bad people...and we don't have to listen to them. It is living in high security buildings and riding in special bomb proof cars, and having people watch you all day....gives a rush to the adrenaline veins that hey you are the man....Yeah the man who has caused so much trouble....that people plot to kill you.

It is a terrible thing what the Capitalist is doing...and their method is wrong. There are more bankruptcies, more debt, more swindling than the hairs on your body...And we get what? Terrorism. The more you make the more you become a target of terror.  Because we have not worked out the idea that we did it wrong.

People should not hoard money in the bank, or worry they will be ripped off. It should be a society where we help one another. Billionares are not billionares when so many bad things are all around them..It means they have failed to do with the money God put in their interest to use.. God will Shut down the Stock Market someday...because people have figured it just does not work.. It is senseless ramblings on each day....of meaningless charts and numbers that go up and down....with a significance of daily indifference..because someone always loses... and someone always wins.... The winners never do the right thing with the money..they collude with other rich people to make sure they don't lose a dime....to some real person without a job, or no food for their kids, living under a bridge... or living under bush like some damn groundhog.

Yep.....It is a selfish game called Capitalism....and philanthropist are only there in disguise...that being they lied to gain their wealth in order to say they are nice guys in giving it back.....is a hell of way to exist....No Capitalism is not a means to an end...it is an end to its means. and now we know why Jesus Christ the son of God was born in a cave, as a poor person.....such it is....I believe not in capitalism and the lie of wealth....... So I say you Capitalist fuckers stop forcing us, killing us, occupying us, and brainwashing us, and intimidating us to your accept your ways to nowhere...because you can not give us real life.
