Very interesting. Maybe we have room for collaboration?
Oximity <https://www.oximity.com/> is a global news platform, entirely people-powered, challenging mainstream news media. Currently we have news from roughly 3,000 individuals, 700 organizations and 24 networks <https://www.oximity.com/selected/authors/networks> worldwide, growing rapidly. A network consists of a group of Organizers, Editors, and Writers. Example: https://www.oximity.com/org/NINJA-1/members . And news content in more than 40 languages. Among other things, Oximity acts as a 'network of networks', bringing together diverse independent news networks from around the world onto one giant global platform, and cross-pollinating readers, writers and content across the various networks. Future modules will include * Whistleblower module - secure, anonymous, verified * Crowdfunding for investigative journalism We're based in Palo Alto and Berlin. We have the full engineering/design team and sales/marketing teams already in place. Collaboration would give you immediate access to a worldwide user base. Just thinking aloud...
