Who can publish on Younews.ge ?
Everyone both anonymously and under their own name (even associated with a professional profile in the journalistic style), however, at a first stage all the contents are moderated to ensure an adequate quality and correctness of the information
Why contents are moderated?
Because as long as contents are not explicitly moderated, they are moderated implicitly through constraining and/or arbitrary "community guidelines", or even through closed-source algorithms. Much more transparent, in our opinion, is to not set any specific guideline, except a "generic" concept of "quality and correctness of the information" which can be evaluated on a case-by-case basis from an experienced committee
What is the purpose of Younews.ge ?
Younews.ge aspires to be a centralized database and factory for the topical information of Georgia, that is where media outlets or newspaper publish their quality contents or independent writers and activists submit their articles or reviews, both to catalog them for long-term storage through the use of semantic data, and to disseminate them through Wikisphere for a global audience
How younews.ge can be immediately used ?
  • You can just create a news media entry in order to contribute to create a comprehensive list of online newspapers and news media platforms for each country (of course starting from Georgia). You know that most of the people always check the same few news sources and/or they are entrapped in social networks.
