Developed to become the latest tool in the field of journalism that empowers the public, iWitness Upload helps connect every person to news organisations around the world. This advanced platform gives one the opportunity to take news into their own hands, to be part of the story and as added incentive — be paid for contributions! The concept was already set in stone, but iWitnessUpload needed someone to help bring this idea to fruition i.e. Newpath Web.
Journalism is increasingly becoming privatised, with fewer people being able to voice their concerns or stories. Figuring a unique way to do the same through a tailored process was necessary to facilitate trustworthy relationships between the media and a contributing individual. Hence, iWitness Upload was developed as a way to create media leads via photographs or videos, turning a regular witness into a legitimate contributor.
