NowPublic is a participatory news network which mobilizes an army of reporters to cover the events that define our world. During Hurricane Katrina, NowPublic had more reporters in the affected area than most news organizations have on their entire staff. When Mumbai broke, NowPublic harnessed the power of social media to offer real-time, as-it-happened coverage. In 2007, TIME Magazine named NowPublic one of the 50 Coolest Websites and the site has twice been nominated for an Emmy Award for Advanced Technology.
