Newzulu, a highly innovative and global crowd sourced newswire company hits the ASX today under the code NWZ (via a backdoor listing). The company allows citizen journalists to share photos and videos with the major news-agencies world-wide, and be compensated for their efforts. It is managed by former Young Australian of the Year, Alex Hartman. Hartman says there was a time when a professional journalist, photographer, camera-man or satellite truck would always be the first to cover a news event. That's now never the case. There's always someone with a smart phone there first. News organisations need a way to harness those smart phones via a news gathering network - which is really what Newzulu is. Livewire caught up with Alex in Sydney yesterday to find out some more about his company and the significant global footprint they've secured. Watch the video here:
