COMPANY DESCRIPTION Launched in mid-2013, Blasting News is now the fastest growing global news publisher: the 170th most visited website in the world (Alexa Ranking), counting on 83+ million monthly unique visitors and 1 million blasters from 34 countries, who publish 16.000+ original news each month in 24 different languages. Blasting News has been selected and funded by Google Innovation Fund (DNI) to revolutionize digital information in Europe. Blasting News has offices in London (Head-Quarters), New York, Sao Paulo, Milan and Rome. Blasting News has an ambitious goal: to make our world a better place, giving everyone the possibility of sharing ideas with a global audience and enjoying truly independent information. Blasting News is made by the people, made for the people: at the core, Blasting News is a news publisher totally fueled and curated by the crowd: news is produced by delocalized contributors (Blasters) and fact-checked and curated by a quality team of professionals (Senior Blasters). Both Blasters and Senior Blasters are paid based on performance; in addition to this, the best news may be distributed around by the Social Blasters, a global team of digital influencers selected through application and interviews. All the core processes are managed by technology: e.g., homepages are handled by a patent-pending algorithm without human intervention. Blasting News has a very innovative proposition: • 100% Independent Blasting News encourages a wide range of points of view. All blasters can freely choose the topic and the medium of their contents.
Blasting News has adopted the George Whitefield’s principle of “We’ll just have to agree to disagree.” • 100% Democratic Blasting News does not have any central editorial office: we have developed a technology that promotes the most interesting, highest quality news, taking into account a huge number of factors. • 100% Meritocratic Blasters earn money thanks to a simple quality-based system: the more people that read the content, the more money the Blaster receives. Money comes from advertisement sold on the webpages.
