Everyone can be a video reporter with Snappers
Israeli start-up Snappers has developed an app that allows anyone with a smartphone to become an instant video stringer. The app has been trialled by CNN, which spends more than $700m a year on newsgathering, over the past year and plans to gradually offer Snappers to general users in the next few months. Snappers was accepted into The Bridge, an eight-month accelerator in Tel Aviv co-sponsored by Coca-Cola, Mercedes and CNN parent company Turner Broadcasting. The company is planning to raise $1.5m in early 2019.
