Newsy.com - Worldwide News At Your Fingertips

Newsy defines itself as a “multiperspective online video news site” that has the aim of presenting its visitors with news coverage spanning the whole world in a setting as snappy and memorable as it could possibly be. You see, if you pay the website a visit you will be greeted with short video fragments that have the objective of letting you apprehend news stories more instantly, and also in a more enjoyable way. Channels from all over the world are placed side by side, and that makes for a very refreshing experience as you might be able to see the same incident (say, the boy in the balloon) as it is perceived by different cultures.

The featured categories include “World”, “Economy”, Politics” and “Culture”, whereas technically-minded people are bound to head straight to the “Tech/Sci” section. And if you are concerned about the state of the planet, then the category named “Environment” will be the right one for you.

The aim of the site, then, is letting people approach news in a context which is far more dynamic that what we have become accustomed to when we watch the news at home. It is difficult to say for sure if it will achieve the transcendence it obviously aims for, but the fact remains that the attention span of people in the digital age lends itself to a service like this splendidly.

“Newsy.com is a multiperspective online video news site that monitors, synthesizes and presents the world's news coverage. In an increasingly connected world, access to multiperspective news is in demand by global citizens. News sources are abundant yet redundant. Newsy.com delivers context with convenience to help keep you better informed. Through short video segments available on the web and mobile devices, Newsy.com offers a way to accelerate your global understanding of a news story.”

It has what it takes for modifying the way people approach the news, as it places everything in a very agile setting where information never outstays its welcome.

Where and how should this be marketed so that it can truly take off?
