Indie Frame
What?
The Startup called IndieFrame wants to democratize the news flow by giving “we the people” a platform where they can upload photo and video and giving their side of a story. The content then can be used by newspapers and news media corporations when they buy the right to use this for covering a story. That's a win-win situation, you get paid for covering events, and we all get a more democratic covering of news! 😍
