Current TV has been the world's leading peer-to-peer news and information network

What Company Is Offering:
Current TV has been the world's leading peer-to-peer news and information network. Current is the only 24/7 cable and satellite television network and Internet site produced and programmed in collaboration with its audience.


How It Works:

Current connects young adults with what is going on in their world, from their perspective, in their own voices.

Current pioneered the television industry's leading model of interactive viewer created content (VC2). Comprising roughly one-third of Current's on-air broadcast, this content is submitted via short-form, non-fiction video "pods". Viewer Created Ad Messages (VCAMs) are also open to viewers participation.

Current's programming ranges from daily pop culture coverage to political satire in "SuperNews," unprecedented music journalism in "The Current Fix," and unique insights into global stories through Vanguard and Citizen Journalism.

Current TV pods are nonfiction videos that are anywhere from one minute to seven or eight minutes; it's a self-contained story, a profile of an interesting character or a dose of information. It's like the atom of the Current TV universe.

You can submit a pod, or even just part of a pod for consideration by Current's Collective Journalism team. There are assignments on the CJ page, or you can upload something you think needs to be covered. Just make sure to tag your upload "Collective Journalism".
