NowPublic started a little over a year ago under the premise that the majority of mainstream media have lost the ability to do proper first at the scene reporting. Most of the world events that were worth catching were happening outside of the media's reach but today because of the proliferation of digital cameras, camera phones and the web, we're now at a place where general people like you and I are actually catching the most important news today. We created a property service where we could deliver content from an army of virtual reporters, as well as where people and organizations could ask for content through the system as well. Today we are now actually the largest eye witness news network in the world with about 23,000 reporters in over a hundred and thirty-five countries.

NowPublic continues its mission to empower anyone to participate in the news. The crowd-sourcing company just announced its partnership with ShoZu to enable anyone to send in photos, videos from their mobile devices to give status updates, comments and "tweets" to networks or profiles on Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and Twitter.

In another sign that new media is siphoning talent from traditional media, NowPublic just hired BBCNews.com veteran Rachel Nixon as its Global News Director. NowPublic is a so-called crowd-sourcing media company that lets anyone break news or provide information regarding news events. You're probably wondering about the other examples, right? Well, you don't have to look very far. Vator was pretty excited to bring over veteran technology and business journalist John Shinal from Dow Jones MarketWatch.
