The NEXTOOR Social Site, seeking revival, hopes of hope in partnership with local media suppliers

New York (AP) – NextEdoor, a social networking area that aims to create communication between neighbors, trying to move the previous illegal and brightest sense. How? It turns to journalists for help.

The company announced the relationship on Tuesday and more than 3,500 local media providers to contribute property to the app. As part of the Redestign, and increase its ability users’ ability to weather, the other accidents, as well as using AI to improve restaurants, services and local services.

“There should be enough value for neighboring neighbors that they feel that they need to open up a week,” says Nirav Tolia, the founder of the company and the CEO. “And that is not so today.”

The power of the Nedooroor helped them and journalists at the same time are very interesting.

NEXTOROOR has components of local news from the providers in the area where the user resides. If people want to learn more, the link in the news zone is included. When presented, the NEXTOR stated that with more than 50,000 matters available, representing just three more than three “neighboring” programs.

The future of unprecedented stories

When the Netteredoor begins in 2011, the local news industry was in the first stage of relief today. The number of journalists from the US rooted from 40 residents of 100,000 inhabitants in 2002 to the top 8th, according to the study that issued this month with Muck Rack and form local mugs. About a third of the national districts has no full time journalists.

In this chaos entered the app on the promising and infrastructure, perhaps the future template template. Her users – NextEoor prefer to call them “Neems” – Scheduled in over 200,000 locations, who are able to start conversations and call back the backup: Do you know that a reliable bet? What is that building getting up on the road? Who serves the best burger?

However, NEXTOOR’S developers know that they are technical, not a news business. They did not see the role of trained journalists at the outset.

“We thought in our first days that neighbors would take Journalists, as likely as citizens or local journalists,” said Tolia. “I think we have come to the conclusion that neighbors can only do it.”

The worst, the site became magnetic and cranks, the kind of neighbors who tried to avoid. NEXTOROOR FROM THE FLOSES – Why is a different color or nationalism? – That their presidents should have spent a long-term spicy racial policies and the rules that change the rules for protection.

For some users, the wrong things go through these good things.

Ralilaor was an important source of my family, “a woman of Santa Monica, Calif. Nextoor DMD I donated to leaving others in his deck.”

“I, though, see that the residues of apartheid across the site has left me with a bad feeling but not only an app, but the city I liked.

Trying to make Nexatoor important for users

Any of any reasons, adequate users look at the NEXTOOR to see that its leaders are obliged to make announcements announced. The site has 100 million registered users, but only 25 million are located at least once a week, Tolia said. NEXTEOOR, traveling to the community by 2021 to attract a new financial cycle, you want to see them often.

NEXTOOR Hired the Code of Merciless at New York Times, Georg Petchchnigg, as his head building officer can represent changes.

The company said his studies would want to know more about what happened in their communities more than the information used. Some public networks bring the same way to the surface, Tolia said. “If you rely on the user’s productive content, it is unexpected for quality quality, time and compliance,” he said.

“If I were in their shoes, I would be doing this. I don’t know why they didn’t.”

You are waiting to see that the nettedoor has actual commitments in the news or just reaching many eyebrows.

“It’s an opportunity to do one thing that Facebook could do but choose,” Todd said. “You don’t want this decrease just trying to try a traffic traffic, because that’s what happened on Facebook after moving in the community.”

The recreational entertainment of trained journalists are not lost.

“It’s like the new old and,” said Sam Cholke, the distribution manager and the growth of the audience at non-profits. Hundreds of members included Texas Tribune, daily plain news in high places, NC, as well as Day everyday in Whitesburg, Kentucky.

A few stories involved involved in successful join and “my hope is that our members see important benefits from it,” said Cholke.

With the hope of meaningful relationships

The local news industry continues to suffer from the same collapse problems over the past two decades: the amount reduces students and advertisers. The comments from outside Tolia – about how people often picked up “the dead tree” on their walkways to find their stories – they talked about their hopes.

DEMPHAPHS’S’S’S OF NEW NEWS FROM A II of Ai’s AI Damage Damage Introduces Stories, Tim Franklin of the North Western Stage said.

“If NEXTOROR is one of the learners’ sites in news sites, as well as local news portals, will come at the risk of local news and can be a real opportunity,” said Franklin, that real reliance seems unexpected.

Josh Schneps, who conducts a series of local books New York City and Long Island, such as tropical and park, has already appeared in Adtedoor in soft opening and detects traffic.

“I feel that the media is in a state of evolution and no playbook,” Schneps said. “My goal is to get our content in front of as many people as possible. I am so happy to be a guinea pig” in the staff, he said.

The industry – and the company – both need help. Maybe they can help each other.
