NowPublic's News Network Secures $10.6 Million

0 views

Backfence.com folded about a month ago, and many onlookers interpreted that as a death knell for hyperlocal news sites.  The “participatory news network” of NowPublic is doing just fine, however - the company has received $10.6 million in funding.

A press release calls the investment “the largest single commitment to citizen generated news yet assembled by a company in the category,” and off the top of my head, I can’t think of any reason to argue with that statement.
