Civicboom.com comes to play a new role in a modern day debate that includes content industries, news, and journalism. The advent of technology in every day life, and the access to different devices by common people has changed the way in which we get and give information to others. This is the essence of the matter: an individual who has nothing to do with producing information for big audiences – say for example a nurse or a doctor – can register with audio, images or video an important event that happens in front of him with his cell phone. Before than any newspaper can even know about it, let alone inform about it, a car crash or a rescue of someone in danger, was already recorded.
So what are journalists left to do if anyone today can be a journalist? What is their professional role today? Besides recording it, the citizen can upload that content in his own blog or webpage, so he won’t even need to go to a newspaper or TV channel to make it known to the public. To this debate, the answer is that journalism or any other information and content related job can give an added value to it. In that way, the good writing, the insight into the news, and the full time dedication are advantages which could make audiences turn to that kind of source instead of the one generated by amateurs.
So Civicboom.com is here to contribute in that added value to the news or other information generated by anyone, anytime and anywhere. It is first of all a community for those who consume and produce information. But with the idea that these roles can be exchanged between one party and the other. While you may be a person reading about a certain issue that interests you, some time later you may be precisely the one who informs about something of which you know thoroughly, or which you came to know by accident by being in the right place at the right moment.
The great innovation of Civicboom.com is that users – whether they are individuals or greater organizations – can ask for the content they need at a given moment. Offering unprompted content to organizations and asking for certain information you need to the other members of the community is what this site is all about. For organizations based on generating and finding different kinds of contents, some specific tools are available to enhance this other chance.
Each contribution will be rated and eventually you can become a number one informer of the community itself or of a great organization.
