CNN reaches out to Amateur Journalists and Video Bloggers with iReport.com
Gena Haskett told us that CNN is attempting to network with Amateur Journalists and Video Bloggers.
They’re trying to do this with a brand new online video site called iReport.com.
Gena says…
If you record something of interest [and put it on iReport.com] they may air it on CNN. I didn’t see anything about [monetary] compensation if that happens [at all].
Gena makes a good point. Is there an incentive to get people to really participate on iReport.com?
For many that incentive needs to be money. But maybe the incentive is (the chance of) seeing your video on CNN.
But… even if your video does appear on CNN… will CNN plug your name and website URL on CNN too?
If done right, having those 2 things promoted on CNN might be plenty incentive to get the right people involved with iReport.com. But we’ll have to keep an eye on it, to see if CNN is will to give this kind of promotion, on air, to the Amateur Journalists and Video Bloggers that CNN wants to participate on iReport.com.
