Describe your idea:

Enables people to become social correspondents reporting on news issues from all angles. It will be the equivalent of BBC News but with news content created, edited and submitted by everyone.

My idea is to give everyone a platform to write, produce, edit and submit online news content created by them. It will be about issues related to them, their community and things that are of importance to their area and people.

The idea is to create a network of social correspondents that cover various news topics. It will be impartial and will give a clearer snapshot of society and its issues.

What problem does it solve?:

Much of news content is controlled by a few organisations – the BBC, AP, Reuters, News International – leading to monopoly and risk of inaccuracy in coverage.

My idea means that clear, unbiased, non judgemental and effective viewpoints are expressed via daily updates, content and news output.

People can request a niche news to be reported upon and others can take this on and provide that coverage. This is where the other news agencies lack – not covering the tiny details and news that is important to people.

For example, if I lived in Wales and wanted to know about issues in Fulham, I could request someone to become a social correspondent and report from that angle.

It is about selective news made by others for others.

Type of idea: A brand new project
