Who do you see as your ideal customers?
Who are the people gathering data locally? Is this crowdsourced? There have been breaking news platforms in this space in the past that found it hard to get users onboard. How will you approach this differently?

The people gathering data locally are part of the group I just referenced - or anyone with a smartphone that will engage with a remote client to do an information gathering task for whatever price can be agreed. In this scenario, location and exclusivity of that location has value for the person needing information from it. This isn't really about news, but in a world where the cost of maintaining a bureau everywhere is something that has to be considered, it could be used for on-demand assignments to users who want to be a stringer for any news outlet. The DPA http://www.dpa.com/ http://www.dpa.com/ are keen to use this app once we scale because it lets THEM contact people close to wherever the news is.
