MediaSpan and Broadcast Interactive Media launched YouNews TV video, an online video upload, management and editing service that allows local newspapers and radio stations to handle user-generated content.

Users can upload breaking video stories in categories such as local sports, weather, entertainment and news events to their local media Web site.

 

YouNews TV’s back-end tools allow newspapers to monitor, edit and track video, as well as inserting targeted video ads.

YouNews TV differs from open video systems in that each video goes through several layers of content moderation prior to going live, MediaSpan said.
