Newsy.com: multi-perspective views of world news
Posted by Marion Geiger on April 8, 2009 at 12:37 PM
Newsy.com is a web news service, recently partnered with the Missouri School of Journalism, that organises the news and provides several angles on each story. It has claimed to be the first news site to provide daily "multi-perspective" views of world news. Launched just before the US presidential elections in 2008, Newsy.com produces short videos that show the different ways in which stories are being reported. To gather news, there are rotating editorial teams that observe reports from television, newspapers, magazines, blogs and other Internet sources.
"Newsy provides immediate analysis of news perspectives so consumers
can form their own opinions," said Jim Spencer, its president and founder. "We combine context with convenience to help make viewers
smarter, faster. Multi-perspective news is now in great demand as
people realize that there is more than one side to a story and news
reporting is increasingly viewed as biased."
Breaking Tweets is another website that tries to compile several perspectives on one subject by putting together latest headlines and corresponding Twitter feeds. Its main goals are to enhance worldviews and provoke dialogue on international news. Although these two sites are definitely different in their approach and even goal, they both represent the news industry catering to an increasingly globalized world and generation that looks for more viewpoints and conversation.
