Most of us will prefer to watch a short video clips of major events than to read two to three pages reports. News companies understand this so they create short videos of major news and events and post them on their web site. The problem now becomes how to organize thousands of video being published to one spot.  Newsy: Multisource Video News was developed to help solve this problem. Newsy is a news video “analyzer” that helps to collect and organized video clips from many sources. We asked Alexandra Wharton of Newsy.com a few questions about their app and Android in general; here are the answers:

What is the motivation behind Newsy?
There were several motivations for starting Newsy: increasing interest in global news perspectives; the majority of people think there is a bias in the media; online video viewership has exploded over the past 3 years.

Given that every big news company including CNN, ABC, FOX, BBC, among others, now have short videos for every major news event, how does your app help users organize these videos?
An analyzer, not an aggregator, Newsy is the only news app that highlights the differences in how a story is being reporting by various media sources around the world. In a 2 to 3 minute video, Newsy viewers understand the nuances in coverage. Newsy continues to be the only video news service with this value proposition.

How is Newsy: Multi-source Video different from other apps aimed at organizing news videos for Android phone users?
The Newsy app for Android features a simple, easy-to-use interface with large graphics that invite users to explore Newsy videos by flipping through a stack of thumbnails.

Where do you see Android among mobile OS(s) in 2 years?
Android is certainly positioned to be a leading mobile OS. Over the next two years, mobile delivery will evolve to be one of the primary ways people access content and video.

Is your company working on another app presently, or you are focusing on improving Newsy: Multi-source Video?
A culture of constant innovation at Newsy is driving us to continue to improve the Newsy: Multi-source app across major mobile platforms, as well as making our site more accessible by all mobile users.
