RE: SWEN message - Reward of 50 Steem to kickstart
Hi cassidyandfranks, as I said to pcste, this is a very useful first effort. I will gladly award you 50 Steem, however, I have failed to make clear the intent of the SWEN messages. They are intended to come from first hand witnesses to the event. So direct involvement or direct sourcing of information on the ground....as in you are the source or you are experiencing the SWEN yourself.
For example, I have not sent a SWEN message today because I have not personally witnessed anything I think is worthy of attention at a local or global level. The intent is not to replicate news feeds.
Thank you very much for participating! 50 Steem on the way.
Ok @benjojo
I miss understood.
So we (Steemit) users can go out with our cameras\phone and as we witness LIVE event that is noteworthy and "tag" swen in our post with our names (real first and last name) as the actual active witness?
You raise an important point, you should specify if you are recording the incident/aftermath or directly involved. You don't need to tag your name, just credit any of the evidence appropriately. For example...you can provide a witness statement if you are a witness or provide the name for another's witness statement.
The purpose is a true early warning and mobilisation system. Also to begin to develop the skills to decentralise journalism and ultimately bring reputation and truth to journalism in a way that helps people.
Got it!
Thanks @benjojo for clearing that up.
You are one of my top 10 Steemians I try to regularly check actual Stemit Blog Post Daily since my "feed" can be cluttered.
Wow! Thank you so much. I'm really very touched.
