Allvoices, is a citizen media start-up that fosters an open global community where anyone can report and share news from anywhere in the world. The Web site gives the diverse community a chance to share and discuss news, videos, images and opinions tied to events and people. It is the first community to weave together traditional news, blogs, online resources and anyone who wants to share their voice.
The Allvoices community provides eyewitness news and perspective that is free from traditional editorial oversight and censorship characteristic of global media organizations. Allvoices’ Web site aggregates, contextualizes and categorizes a broad base of breaking stories and individual perspectives through unedited points of view. Using a set of proprietary algorithms, Allvoices has created a technology platform that utilizes more than 3,500 mainstream feeds and online sources of news to provide relevancy and context for user generated news. Story rank on the home page is determined by the number and diversity of other sources citing the particular news event and community-activity on the report.
