UGC Powered  Media Inc. today launched a beta version of it’s citizen journlist website Neaju. “Neaju.com is the first site on the Internet that will allow any user to submit a news story to a world-wide audience without the editorial oversight that is often used to inject bias and spin into news reporting,” said Vadim Gorelik, Founder and CEO of UGC Powered Media, Inc. “Our fundamental belief is that freedom of speech should be applied to journalism first and foremost, in a manner that allows reporters, be they citizens or professionals, to report on any subject in the way they see it unfolding.”

On our visit to the website there weren’t many stories there. There was a link to Ron Paul’s visit to Victoria, Texas and the extent of the citizen journalists information was “there were about 100 people there.” It would have been a good idea to launch the beta with a little bit more data, and some interesting articles, even if you got your sister in-law to write them for you. The company touts the ability for anybody to post an article to a worldwide audience without editorial oversight, but can’t you pretty much do that with a free blog? Posting your blog entry to Digg can get you out to a world-wide audience too.

We’re a little unclear on the concept on this one. Perhaps it needs to go back in the oven and bake some more.

You can help submit this story to a worldwide audience by using the links below to Digg it, or post it to your favorite social media site.
