Blasting News Revenue and Competitors

Blasting News is the largest global social news publisher ? set up in mid-2013, it is now the 142th most visited websites in the world (Alexa Ranking), thanks to 102+ million monthly unique on-site visitors. Blasting News has been growing faster than any other new-media player in their start-up phase, achieving in under four years, what took best-in-class industry leaders such as BuzzFeed and the Huffington Post over six years to accomplish. As a result, Blasting News has reached 100 million ac-tive monthly users in the same amount of time as Snapchat, and faster than Facebook and Twitter. It has readers in five continents and offices in London, New York, Sao Paulo, Milan, Rome, and soon Singapore. Blasting News is a new disruptive concept of journalism, being made by the people, for the people. News is produced by delocalized freelance contributors (Blasters), fact-checked and curated by a quality team of senior professionals. Furthermore, news is distributed by Social Blasters, a global team of top digital influencers. All the processes are fueled by the crowd, without any central newsroom - thanks to an extensive use of technology (the core stages are managed by algorithms, some of which are patent-pending). Blasting News has a very innovative proposition: - 100% Independent Blasting News encourages a wide range of points of view. All blasters can freely choose the topic and the medium of their contents. Blasting News has adopted the George Whitefield's principle of ?We'll just have to agree to disagree.?? - 100% Democratic Blasting News does not have any central editorial office: we have developed a technology that pro-motes the most interesting, highest quality news, taking into account a huge number of factors. - 100% Meritocratic Blasters earn money thanks to a simple quality-based system: the more people that read the content, the more money the Blaster receives. Money comes from advertisements sold on the webpages. Online Magazine, Big Data, Crowdsourcing journalism, Native Advertising
