Cell Journalist provides a turnkey platform to local media outlets that allows their audience to easily send in images and videos of news and community events. Content can come directly from camera phones, without any pre-registration or can be uploaded directly from the platform. The ability to rate, tag, comment and embed makes the Cell Journalist platform a truly robust solution for user generated content. The contest engine provides an interactive system to engage users and drive page views.
The platform is unique because of the way it handles mobile content. Images and videos can be submitted without having to pre-register. To win the big story, it is absolutely critical that the audience can respond to breaking news and weather events as easily as possible, without any barriers to entry.
The recently launched iPhone application gives users the ability to send in content from their iPhone and add the contextual information (title, tags, description, etc) directly from their handset. Each media partner has the option have their own custom branded iPhone app. Phase II of the iPhone app will include the ability to get location information which can be plotted on a map to show where stories and events are happening in real time.
