Buy articles and content online from the world's Journalists

December 8th 2010 13:06
NewsCollective, which is still in its beta testing, has received a phenomenal response with more than 1500 writers and photographers and 50 publishers registering to avail its services. It was launched on 28th April 2010 as an invite-only website for a very select number of professional writers to start exploring the many tools freely available on the site to build their online identity, create/ upload/ sell articles, manage their professional reputation and build better working relationships with publishers and peers globally.

The online new bureau has thousands of articles covering a range of topics including technology, business, environment, entertainment, lifestyle and the latest news stories among others. Additionally, NewsCollective has hundreds of photographs that have been clicked exclusively by its approved photojournalists and are available to publishers in clear high resolution formats.

NewsCollective was launched with an aim to simplify the process of transaction between content creators and publishers, globally. And by registering on NewsCollective, publishers can now buy articles online without worrying about details such as the quality of the article, meeting deadlines or even the language.

Since the site is accessed by content creators and publishers from all over the world, the preferred language for content is English, but if required, NewsCollective also offers support for another 12-15 different languages, thus making the language barrier non-existent.

A unique feature of NewsCollective is that publishers do not need to access from all over the world. For example, if a publisher has a presence only in Europe, then only content uploaded for the European region can be browsed and purchased.

And that’s not all. On NewsCollective, publishers do not need to purchase content that is already available on the site. Keeping in mind, the customized needs of publishers for content, NewsCollective provides registered publishers to ‘Request for Article’ (RFA) feature.

As the name suggests, publishers can create their RFA offer mentioning details such as the word count, the target audience, any specific information that needs to be there, payment etc. The RFA can then be viewed by the registered content creators on NewsCollective and if interested, they will respond with details on how they will develop the content.

Another important reason of buying articles online from NewsCollective is that the content creator certifies that the article is original and not plagiarized. Additionally, NewsCollective provides publishers an online plagiarism tool that highlights the copied content by searching for it on the leading search engines.

Wondering how to register on NewsCollective? It’s an easy and simple process. All that you need to do is visit www.newscollective.com and register as a publisher and provide the required details in the contact form. Yes, it’s that simple.

Once your registration has been validated, depending on your requirements, a subscription plan needs to be selected and the fees paid. Depending on the plan selected, you can enjoy access and purchase articles, photos and videos from content creators all over the world.

NewsCollective continues momentum with registrations from over 1,000 professional writers

July 21st 2010 15:25
Stockholm, Sweden: NewsCollective, an Online News Bureau focused on empowering journalists and publishers worldwide to source content online, has announced today that they have over 1,000 journalists and 30 publishers from 26 countries registered on the site. What is commendable is that this widespread participation has taken place during the beta testing of the site in less than three months.

NewsCollective launched an invite-only beta test phase of its website on 28th April 2010 for 100 select professional writers to start exploring the many tools available to build their online identity, create/ upload/ sell articles, manage their professional reputation and have better working relationships with publishers and peers, online.

The focus markets for the invitation only beta testing phase initially planned were India, USA and Sweden but were later expanded to 13 countries, due to the overwhelming response to this new disruptive concept for content creation and transaction.

The website is fast gaining popularity among the professional writer and publisher communities, respectively.

"We are delighted with the success of the beta testing of NewsCollective. The number of registrations to the website has been more than encouraging," commented Jan Villars, CEO of NewsCollective. "It proves the website has already struck a chord with professional writers who are looking for alternative sources where they can sell their content and ensure that they get paid, without any hassles.”

Ninna Engberg, Chairperson of NewsCollective’s Board of Directors added, “We would like to thank both these communities for their tremendous support and response to NewsCollective’s unique business model. Their inputs during the testing phase will be crucial in our efforts to complete the beta stage, and we look forward to participants' help in shaping NewsCollective.”

The success and momentum of NewsCollective continues as the new website starts to address the daunting challenge of the changing face of the media industry with publishing houses gearing up to cater to the needs of an ever-demanding audience for latest news and unique content. At the same time, as business gets squeezed, employee lay-offs have been increasingly taking place in media houses, leaving a deep impact on the prospects of professional journalists globally. Professional journalists are dealing with a scenario where they have a lot of unique content but do not have the access to reach out to publishers and negotiate assignments with them in an open and professional market place.



“NewsCollective team has been working towards creating a genre-defining experience, and the beta signups certainly validate that we are taking the website in the right direction. Writers who have a lot of content but did not have the right platform to sell it to publishers outside their geographies have been giving us a lot of positive feedback about our efforts to market them and their work effectively. We would like to thank all our beta testers for the assistance, observations and experiences they have given so far," said Kaushik Thakkar, Vice Chairman, NewsCollective.

NewsCollective has created an online portal to help professional writers interface and sell their content to publishers, at a price determined by them. It gives writers the perfect platform to write their own personalized content, in the form of stories, features, photographs, videos, etc.

This website is slated to be launched officially in October 2010. Once the beta test is complete, NewsCollective will open its doors to others journalists. Registration for journalists to the website is free, while publishers will have to pay a nominal monthly charge to be part of the network once the site is officially launched. They can then choose from three different subscription packages to access content from different geographies and content verticals.

NewsCollective invites select journalists from India for beta testing

July 17th 2010 08:55
NewsCollective, a website focused on empowering journalists and publishers worldwide to source content online, has announced an invitation-only beta launch. Beginning today, 100 select journalists will be invited to register on the site and start exploring the many tools available to build their online identity, create/ upload/ sell articles, manage their professional reputation and working relationships with publishers and peers, online. The focus markets for the invitation only beta testing phase are India, USA and Sweden of which the invitation round for India starts today.
The media industry is facing a challenge to remain focused on ‘in-depth’ coverage of events and ensuring that information is also presented ‘speedily’. Large media networks are facing difficulties of offering global content coverage with their own staff, and are dependent on the existing news bureaus and newswire agencies.
But with the diminishing revenues in traditional print media, media organizations worldwide are beginning to feel the need for an online news bureau, where they will be able to pick up information faster and from a variety of sources. This shift from the traditional news bureaus to a highly engaging, interactive online bureau will create new opportunities for upcoming professionals worldwide.
Jan Villars, CEO of NewsCollective said, “Sourcing newsworthy content easily from journalists worldwide has become a practical necessity for many publishers to retain their readership interest and have uniqueness in the coverage. NewsCollective.com is created on the idea of connecting journalists with publishers worldwide through an easy to use online platform. NewsCollective is committed to proactively drive initiatives for journalists to showcase their articles with publishers globally creating a market for them. The focal point of our business is to simplify the process of sourcing the content worldwide through a web experience by creating a one-stop portal for journalists to market their content. With NewsCollective, the opportunities are endless for journalists and media houses.”
NewsCollective’s purpose is to create an online news bureau where journalists can market their articles, stories, features, photographs and videos at a fixed price or through a bidding process. These transparent modules help media organizations to tackle the daunting task of managing global information and news at one place, which makes outsourcing easy. Professional journalists on the other hand can decide the price they would like to set for the unique content they have created and negotiate the same directly with the publishers, faster and safer.
Immediately upon registering on the site, journalists can build their professional profile, add articles they wish to showcase with publishers worldwide, maintain their portfolios, respond to publishers’ Request for Articles (RFAs) or submit their ideas for an article, build their professional reputation online and manage their working relationships with media houses and peers. By inviting friends and colleagues to register on the site, they can also build a business network of journalists and publishers they wish to maintain.
This website is slated to be launched officially in September 2010. Once the beta test is complete, NewsCollective will open its doors to others journalists. Registration for journalist to the website is free.
