| Project Synopsis: Challenge/Opportunity | I am wanting to build out a new kind of news media company that fixes the problems of todays media. I need to build out a basic prototype/mvp to show investors. It is a platform that allows reporters to build their own brand, while allowing readers/viewers to choose reporters they want to "sponsor" and direct the reporters to the news topics that interest them the most. Essentially it is creating reader driven reporting where the readers become the boss and have direct interaction with the reporter and the reporting process. It also give the reporter a way to build a following and income that pays better than most other jobs in the field. Reader directed. Reader oversight. Reporter autonomy. Create a basic media campaign that would allow for people to share the stories that their "hired" reporters wrote for them.
|
| Project Synopsis: Activities/Actions Required | Build out an application with the very basic navigation features. Create example user profiles and reporter profiles as well as an example of what the user experience could be like. Design the reporters view and make it easy to use, manage content, and interact with subscribers. If it is too much work to create functionality at least build out static pages that would display what it could look like. Build out subscription check out. Help design the overall navigation experience.
|
| Project Synopsis: Expected Results | Having an map with basic functionality that could be used to make a pitch to investors to build the remaining product.
