NowPublic, a Canadian Web site emphasizing citizen journalism with postings of photos and videos, has received $1.4 million in financing from Brightspark Ventures, members of the New York Angels and past and present executives of Nokia, Register.com, InfoSpace, Microsoft, Alliance Atlantis and Warner Bros. Television, according to the press release.
The company says, “The company will be using the financing to grow its reporter base and deliver the first On Demand Reporting system to content owners. Rumor is, it will also be using the proceeds to pay all of the hard working developers who have slaved to make the site what it is today.”
NowPublic says it has more than two million unique hits per month.
