IPTV Give Everyone a Shot at the News

by Kathryn Lang

IPTV is now newsworthy.

Now every Tom, Dick, and Harry (or Jane), will be able to distribute their own brand of news. How many of us haven’t sat watching cable’s version of the evening news and thinking “I could do so much better.”

With the new IPTV news hub – http://iptv-anchor.com – anyone can use images captured on their cell phones or digital cameras to make the news. It’s not just limited to images. Home news reporters can use just audio, audio and video combined or just text. Most of the categories that have been submitted to date fall under sections like local news, political opinion, or sports.

Up until the internet intervened, world news was controlled by the corporate media. The mass spread of blogs and sites like MySpace have put a huge dent in their control. The new internet news often dictates the flow of information, and has been known to scoop the professionals on more than one occasion.

With the addition of sites like this IPTV news hubs, corporate news casters will be scrambling even more to keep up and surpass that mass information being offered viewers today.

Not only can the average Joe and Jane decide what is and isn’t news worthy, they can bypass a media that tends to slant the information and go back to the days when news was “just the facts, ma’am.”

Look out Katy Couric, with the new IPTV news hubs, the corporate news broadcasts are no longer in the lead.
