Hi pcste, as terribly sad as the subject matter is, this is a very useful first effort. I will gladly award you 50 Steem, however, and I'm not sure 9 made this clear enough. The SWEN's are intended to come from first hand witnesses to the event. So direct involvement or direct s sourcing of information....you are the source.
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.
Finally, the image used should be the same as the image in my SWEN posts. Additional photographic, video or witness statement evidence can be provided in the body of the post.
So, if I framed an interesting incident on my camera then I'll make that kind of post "SWEN Message". While there, I'm the witness of that incident. Am I right or wrong ?
If you witness an event of interest like say a big traffic jam, you might take a picture and generate a SWEN to inform people of the local situation. The photo adds credibility and context to the notification.
Imagine all Steemians learning to become journalists...but the SWEN initiative is targeting use as an early warning system.
ok i see now. thanks for clarifying. initially i thought you were wanting new , up to date news. i see now you want actual on the spot reporters. great idea.
i think this project will work when there are more steemians
