Yesterday, we announced the hiring of Newsy.com’s new VP of Editorial, Pam Maples, and new Editorial Advisor, Jim Flink.
The reaction from the press and public has been astounding - it speaks to the reputation of these remarkable professionals and to the opportunity at Newsy.com.
Journalism sites, national press and local press all featured the news; an article in the world’s most popular tech blog, TechCrunch, included this quote:
“I wasn’t joking when I wrote Newsy has one of the best iPhone apps for news consumption on the go. But the startup is more than just about mobile applications: it’s on a mission to build a solid news destination site that collects and analyzes perspectives from multiple sources and wraps these views into snack-sized videos.
Keep your eyes on this one – and you can take that literally.”

Columbia, MO - October 15, 2009 — Newsy.com’s multi-source video news app currently is ranked #6 on the list of free apps in the News category in the iTunes App Store.

The following release was sent by the MU News Bureau on April 21
University of Missouri Journalism School, Reynolds Journalism Institute To Host National Online Chat with T. Boone Pickens on U.S. Foreign Oil Dependency, Current State of Energy Reporting
Subsequent Journalism Sessions To Feature Student Energy Research Projects, Presentation by CNBC Energy Reporter Sharon Epperson
COLUMBIA, Mo.–More than 200 journalism faculty, students and energy reporters across the country are expected to participate in a national “virtual chat” with energy visionary T. Boone Pickens on Wednesday, April 22 at the University of Missouri’s School of Journalism and the Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI).
The discussion about the need to improve and expand the quality of reporting on the science, economics and geopolitical aspects of the energy industry will coincide with the Missouri Energy Summit hosted by the University of Missouri System’s four campuses, held on the Columbia campus.
“We are delighted to have Mr. Pickens join us in this virtual chat on energy reporting,” said Brian Brooks, associate dean of the world’s first journalism school. “Over the last nine months, he has advocated his Pickens Plan that addresses and solves our dangerously escalating dependence on foreign oil. At the same time, Mr. Pickens has shared his concerns that the media has failed to hold elected politicians accountable for repeatedly promising to solve this dependency problem but failing to do so. So we’re happy to turn up the volume on this discussion.”
The 45-minute national energy reporting chat with Pickens, initiated with a global video clip of energy reports compiled by Newsy.com, will engage participants online and in-person discussing energy reporting issues and challenges.
