6pread is a news platform dedicated to public journalism. 6pread is here to capture the moments that matter, a protest, a natural disaster, a political rally, truth and authenticity is what matters.
Its focus is on un-edited mobile footage and imagery that is captured at the right place at the right time. People should be able to see what has been happening without bias pre-judgment, contextualized through footage and image manipulation. We believe viewers should have the right to see the moment as it was, from start to finish and decide on the truth.
Imagine a natural disaster, the chance of a person recording the happening on their phone is much greater than a reporter with a camera. Similarly at a protest, there is thousands of footage recorded at the same location, unless you are participating at the event it is hard to imagine the scale and atmosphere. 6pread can be used to film the happening and group it all together using location data, it searches tags nearby if you are at the location so related events can be grouped together in a timeline. So you can witness the happenings as if you were there, giving you multiple viewpoints of the same location. The location data is also used to notify users nearby.
Since all footage is unedited, we want reporters to “highlight” the moment. Viewers can choose to skip to the key moment or watch the full video. So you know what happened before the moment or incident occurred, and how the moment ends.
