Beta has been up for ten days and we really want your feedback - please go to Newsy.com and create an account and let us know what you think. Thanks!

Newsy.com will roll out the week of October 27th. The team is focused on producing excellent content and spreading it throughout the web. Buzz about our site has already begun - we are looking forward to your feedback to help guide us to becoming a successful online video news web site!

This Time magazine article about how the under than 35-years-old set consumes news does a good job of explaining why Newsy.com is positioned to succeed. Newsy’s 2- to 3-minute videos synthesize and present global news from multiple sources and highlight the key differences in reporting … and they’re easy to digest.

Since our successful party last week (300 people!), the Twitter community is abuzz with word of Newsy.com. It’s coming soon … if you would like to be part of our beta, please sign up at http://www.newsy.com. We would love your feedback. Thanks!

Don’t forget to swing by our party tonight - it starts at 7. Lots of food and drink and you can check out our new logo and digs. 904 Elm St - above the Upper Crust.

More than 70% of the US population thinks media coverage of the US presidential election will be biased.

Today, MSNBC removed Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews from the network’s election coverage - apparently in response to criticism about liberal political bias. There’s talk of a more middle-of-the-road replacement like David Gregory.

But is balanced journalism even possible in this opinionated show era? Fox News have enjoyed tremendous success by offering provocative commentary — and other media outlets are following suit.

Our service, to roll in the coming months, will show you how various media outlets cover a story - so that you can draw your own conclusion.

The first week in the newsroom went swimmingly - students are testing the technology that will power our ability to provide multiperspective news. Strategic communication students are learning the ropes of interactive PR - they are quick studies! Getting ready for the big announcement on Wednesday!

After a long hot summer, we are pleased to announce that we are ready to roll. The newsroom is fully operational in time for the students’ arrival.

Get ready for the next generation of news coming to you soon.

The eagle has landed in our new location - that’s Boone County Columbia Missouri (BoCoCoMo). The team is in place and we are busily building our online video news service with our alpha to be up in September. Stay tuned as we update this site and pass the baton to Alexandra - our marketing and community pro.

Enjoy!

Nope - have just been MIA on the blog lately as we have been working around the clock on a new company focused on multisource online news. We’ll have news by the end of December. Season’s Greetings!
