yourNews.com is one of the fastest growing media companies in the U.S. and recently launched a crowdfunding campaign. CEO Sam Anthony describes the company as a “next-generation” local news online platform. Capitalizing on the massive decline in print news circulation, he explained to PRN:
“If you think about it, the largest retailer in the world is Amazon, but it doesn't own any stores. The largest taxi company in the world is Uber, but it doesn't own any cars. The largest hotel operator in the world is Airbnb, but it doesn't own any hotels. Netflix and Hulu produce TV shows and movies and distribute them around the world. When newspapers disappear, it makes sense that the new paradigm for media will be scalable global media giants.”
yourNews currently reaches hundreds of millions of readers and operates local editions in every zip code in the U.S., giving average journalists opportunities not available in the mainstream media. It also provides professional broadcast station feeds and offers national and global news editions.
Anthony meets with New American senior editor Rebecca Terrell to discuss.
