New citizen journalism site AllVoices launches

Cory Bergman July 10th, 2008

AllVoices.com bills itself as “the first open media site where anyone can report from anywhere.” You can send in reports via voice, email, SMS or MMS, and it’s pinpointed on a large map on the home page. But instead of just relying on citizen journalists to send in all the news, AllVoices also aggregates mainstream news from across the world. “My goal is to create the first true people’s media company, where 6 billion people on the planet can share their news from wherever they are,” said founder Amra Tareen.
