Smartphones (connected phones with cameras) have triggered a dramatic change in the way how news is reported. Mobile videos from people on the scene have provided some of the biggest stories of the past months.
However, the market does not have trusted providers for these critical moments when it comes to live video.
LiveTube is the world’s first app connecting 3.5 billion smartphone users with a newsroom for their live videos. Over 1000 professional journalists choose your live video, monitor, and distribute the content in real-time. And of course, everyone gets paid for their stories!

“We can fight fake news when we SHOW the world what’s happening
