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. Since Apple featured the Newsy app in its ‘New and Noteworthy’ section in the App Store on Monday, the Newsy app has climbed the rankings - passing several established news brands.
“We’re thrilled about Newsy’s ascension up the list of free news apps - it’s affirmation that Newsy.com is ahead of the trends for news and news delivery,” explains Newsy.com President Jim Spencer.
Clearly, the Newsy app is meeting demand for news content on mobile devices - the number of Americans using mobile devices to access news doubled from 2008 to 22.4 million, according to comScore.
The launch of Newsy.com this past year was remarkably timed with several important trends, including: 1) the growing perception of a bias in the news (and therefore a need for multi-source news) and 2) the increasing demand for online video.

In 2 to 3 minutes, users understand the nuances in coverage - offering context with convenience.

The buzz has been extraordinary — thousands of people are downloading the apps, it has a three star ratings (beating out other news apps like MSNBC’s and NPR’s) and reviews of the app have been stellar.
Over the past year, we’ve been thrilled at how well we timed the launching of Newsy.com with a couple of key trends - 1) the growing perception of a bias in the news and 2) the increasing demand for online video.
Now we’re ecstatic that the Newsy app is clearly meeting the demand for news content on mobile devices. On Friday, in Diane Mermigas’ article ‘Mobile: The New Mass Medium‘, she discusses consumers’ 24/7 love affair with wireless mobile devices and highlights the thirst for news content:
“The number of Americans using mobile devices to access news and other information doubled from 2008 to 22.4 million as enterprise workers perform functions on mobile devices that were formerly reserved for laptops, according to comScore. A survey of 300 Bostonians conducted for Samsung reveals that one-third would rather forgo sex for a entire year than give up their cell phones for that amount of time.”
