Newsvoice: Fund News You Care About

News platform allowing readers to fund stories they want to see reported on, with writers pitching ideas and getting community funding

What is Newsvoice?

Newsvoice is an innovative news platform that aims to democratize journalism. It allows readers to directly fund the stories and topics they want to see covered by journalists and writers.

The platform works by allowing journalists, writers, and subject experts to create pitches for stories and reporting projects. These pitches include details on what would be covered, why it matters, and how much funding is required. Readers can then browse pitches and financially back the ones they deem worthwhile and want to see developed with their funds.

Once a pitch hits its funding goal from community backers, the writer goes out and reports on the story. Funders are kept updated throughout the process and get access to the finished article before it’s publicly published. This system incentivizes journalists to investigate and cover topics their audiences demonstrate an active interest and willingness to pay for.

In an era of clickbait and ad-driven content, Newsvoice offers a reader-centered model to produce high-quality, relevant journalism. With a transparent funding system, writers are supported to cover subjects that matter. The platform aims to harness the wisdom of crowds to elevate important stories that might otherwise be overlooked by traditional mainstream news organizations.
