Press Release
YouVox® announces
the official launch on 20 November
Another
thematic ‘YouVox Motors’
covering cars and motorbikes will follow shortly.
YouVox® ‘s
goal is dual. Firstly, to allow users, bloggers or
not, to highlight their talents by publishing specific contents (texts, images
and videos) for targeted audiences. Secondly, to guarantee readers a consistent
style with clear and regular content.
Each topic
is managed by two or three YouVox Team Members
who guarantee an editorial style and coordinate usual and occasional
contributors.
To recap, YouVox is a user-generated editorial platform where everyone
can find what they’re looking for : get news and react to articles, publish
regularly or occasionally, and even getting more involved by leading a webzine.
Each webzine
targets a community and highlights its members’ talents.
YouVox
will be improved according to users’ feedback on topics and portal
features.
This project
supports the idea that Internet is changing the way medias make money. News is
available in a variety of mediums, and free access to information is the norm,
so media business models are shifting. On the Net, revenue from ads is far from
matching the printed press. YouVox
takes these factors into account to ensure its viability.
The YouVox Team Members will be involved in the success of
their webzine. The model is flexible, it allows them to express their talents
alongside their current job, and possibly go full-time if the webzine hits a
big audience.
The YouVox model has been developed to encourage replication in
countries with strong Internet growth and where blogging
is widespread.
YouVox
is designed by media and Internet professionals working in big French and
international companies.
Christian

Esposito is the editor of a blog dedicated to TV 2.0,
