Comparing global television coverage of Covid19?

The coverage around the world is dynamic and compelling. If you have an Android device, you can see it unfold across the top 100 channels worldwide: http://tvnewsapp.com If you go to the Stories section, set it to all languages, and what is happening is there all in one place. Half the stories are often about the virus. Or you can go into one channel at a time and see their latest 25 videos from YouTube. Set Favorites, etc. For those not on Android, I do have a video tour of the app: https://youtu.be/lD2cTfxiOWA This app is possible due to the YouTube API and creative curation to surface the freshest content from what we judge as "news" sources rather than just lots of opinion. iOS plans are in the works.

Meetup in Austin, Texas Thu Mar 28?

I am plotting a possible meetup after I am in Austin for the Fair Trade Federation conference. It related to my soon to be announced new twist on my tech for good work. Ping me if you are in the Austin-area and would like to help me organize a friendly happy hour or dinner conversation bridging the civic tech and social enterprise worlds.

TV News App - My new "side hustle" - I need BETA testers

Hey all, I been having some fun developing this new TV News app. I need beta testers on Android. Please help kick the tires: http://bit.ly/2U8FcH8 What do you think? Thanks, Steve P.S. Six! years ago I launched 1 Radio News and the free version now has well over 100,000 downloads and beats out everyone for the search "radio news" on Google Play (and in the ratings). Try it too: http://1radionews.com via All posts: Newswire - Steven Clift's Democracies Online Newswire: Democracies Online http://bit.ly/2DyQoav

[IP] European Parliament votes to block copyright reform

My analysis of the proposals was that going forward a .org like E-Democracy could not afford the legal risk of hosting under generated content via online groups on a non-commercial platform and still serve Europeans. We could move to Facebook or some other .com and let them be liable I suppose. Is that a reasonable analysis?

Facebook Asks: How would members of your community describe you as a leader?

We are up to over 50 cities all over the world who have said they would host meetup as part of a "civic tech world tour." Thank you everyone. Next up is a question that I need help with: Facebook Asks: How would members of your community describe you as a leader? http://ift.tt/2oHXfpv Thinking of the Facebook Group as an extension of my work with this email list, please add a few comments if you'd like to help me give an authentic response. My plan is to use quotations from the comments. Thanks, Steve via All posts: Newswire - Steven Clift's Democracies Online Newswire: Democracies Online http://ift.tt/2HV49k3

Want to host a Civic Tech World Tour stop in your city?

There is a chance the Civic Technology and Open Government Facebook Group will secure a $1M grant to do amazing things. As you know, I've loved connecting people face to face as I've spoken across 36 countries. Typically one or two people are connected digitally to a network I run or participate in and then 10-20 new people join in after I visit and *far* more importantly new local connections are made that lead to civic tech goodness. While this grant is a long long shot, you basically have to think big. I can envision lots of virtual networking efforts and a massive civic tech/tech for good/digital civic engagement/open gov *online based* multi-day conference and lead-up events. Every step of the way, the main Civic Tech and Open Gov Facebook Group will grow with ongoing engagement to 100,000 members. However, leading up to a big connect the world, multilingual online conference held in the group, I can see a couple of round the world tours combined with commissioning continental "who's doing what, what's working" speakers in the first part of the one year effort. If I showed up travel expense free with a modest budget for snacks, would you secure/provide a location for a Civic Tech Facebook Group World Tour event/meetup? I would of course select locations that commit to solid outreach and get creative with efforts to highlight local civic tech/open gov projects and speakers along side me. So, if you are tentatively interested in hosting an event, reply with your name, org, city, country and contact info. Also, if you haven't please join: http://ift.tt/1hwKvor Note today's post: http://ift.tt/2F4GJKm And if you want to advise my application which is due March 9, join here: http://ift.tt/2GM34JO Thanks!
