"I get asked, on a daily basis, about the trust factor in user generated news. The new features NowPublic just released are our answers, and, frankly, I think it gets to the heart of the matter in a way that traditional media has never been able to - by being transparent and open." - Leonard Brody, CEO of NowPublic.com

VANCOUVER, British Columbia/PRNewswire/ -- NowPublic.com (http://www.nowpublic.com/), the world's largest participatory news network, today announced the launch of three new features that raise the bar for trust and credibility in a crowd-powered media platform and community. These features include a member ranking system, a presence stream and a news dashboard.

NowPublic was founded to empower the average citizen to capture and chronicle the news around him/her. It has distinguished itself in the burgeoning crowd-powered media space as the category leader with reporters in more than 5,500 cities and 160 countries.

Thanks for all of your great efforts in making NowPublic such an important information networking hub.


I'd love to see those world-wide membership numbers floating on the banner: 

"reporters in more than 5,500 cities and 160 countries."
