There’s a brand spanking new website just out, and it’s taking what we’re doing here at People’s Voice Media to an international level.
AllVoices.com “brings together multiple voices or points of view via news stories, videos, images and blogs from the Internet, to provide context and build momentum.” The idea is simple – it does what it says on the tin. Anyone, anywhere in the world, with access to a computer, can post ‘news’ on the site. The site is computer-moderated, so inevitably some spam gets through, but most of the stuff posted on there is legitimate.
Unshackled by advertising, the site is bringing together a whole range of voices, opinions and stories, many of which would not normally be considered ‘newsworthy,’ or would even, for various reasons, be deliberately left out of the mainstream media (see eg Proof That Media Controls the Election) It’s a fascinating experiment, and what we at PVM are aiming towards, if on a slightly smaller scale!
If you live in or around Manchester, and would like to get involved in some way, please email jess@mcin.net
Happy Surfing!
