Africa 24 Seeks to Redefine Journalism

TED2007 fellow Salim Amin has launched A24Media, a web-based content delivery site for ‘for material from journalists, African broadcasters and NGO’s from around the Continent‘.

The press release…

24 Media’s business model ensures that all contributors receive a wide and previously unknown exposure to their content, thereby generating sustainable and generous revenues from the sale of their stories on a 60:40 basis in favor of the contributor. Most importantly, the contributor will continue to OWN the copyright of the original footage. Content generators from around Africa will send their material to our main office in Nairobi where it will be verified and re-edited as necessary to create a slick, marketable and branded story. A unique and easily navigable system has been developed to allow broadcasters to view and purchase high-quality video for broadcast on their TV Channels. This enhances their ability to continue sending high-quality content to us and to reach a global audience with their stories…An African Voice telling the African Story.
