How it works?
The public critiques the news and offers evidence and historical footage/videos/links about the news item- almost like a Wikipedia of videos and a public snopes.com. This method of online communication presents a new paradigm in sharing news. Users will also have the opportunity to inject values-based material into the news of the day. For instance, if the news headline was about the Anthony Weiner scandal, users would post links about addiction, personality disorder, public lying, relationship advice and guidance, etc.
Why TruthTube.com?
• Partisanship affects everyone (including journalists). For example: A journalist publishes an article about an elected official. How do you know the article is accurate? How can you be certain that he’s telling the truth? Maybe it’s just one man’s feelings?
With TruthTube.com you will be able to read every relevant article and view every relevant video made regarding the person cited in the article. You no longer need to question whether the article was written with a slant; all the relevant information is before you. You decide what’s true.
• Millions of people feel that they can no longer rely upon traditional media. There are too many instances of media bias and fallibility.
What’s unique about TruthTube.com?
TruthTube.com thrives on user-generated content (i.e. links to articles and videos) that has relevancy to the daily news featured on TruthTube.com. Not only can millions of people share their favorite articles/videos with millions of others combing the web for a more truthful perspective, but they can also share their values (i.e. on ethics, parenting, domestic harmony, etc.) as it relates to the news, by sharing relevant (values based) videos or article.
