Meporter
Mobile phone application
Meporter was a citizen journalist mobile phone application that used geolocation and multimedia to create hyperlocal, real-time news.[1] The name is a combination of Me and Reporter. Users posted news with headlines, text, videos, and images using their smartphones to the Meporter database and to the Meporter website; users could have the story pinpointed on a map using GPS. When the story was uploaded, it was viewable by other reporters via their smartphone or the Meporter website. Users earned "Press Passes", that were similar to Foursquare Badges, which could be exchanged for prizes.[2]
