NowPublic, which just
landed $10.6 million in funding, is "breaking stories for the AP that they would never had access to before,"
says CEO,
Len Brody. "Newspapers have lost control of breaking news."
William Powers checked out the site and found "more often than not, the
top news on the NowPublic front page was about transportation mishaps. ...Evidently, the vast discerning crowd that is about to revolutionize journalism sometimes believes that smallish train and road accidents are the biggest news on the planet."
