Conducted and compiled by tpr media consultants May - November 2015

Overview

From May to December 2015, tpr media secured a wide range of press coverage for Newstag. This included news stories about new partnerships and awards, as well as two positioning features. The first feature, which ran on Journalism.co.uk, portrayed Newstag as innovative company to watch, providing a new model for hyper-personalised video news. The second, which ran in the Cannes Lions Daily News and was distributed at one of the world's premier advertising trade events, described Newstag as one of the key companies challenging existing models for advertising and content sharing.

tpr media organised a number of meetings between Henrik Eklund and prospective partners at the end of April. Sophie Toumazis accompanied Newstag to a series of meetings with content providers (e.g. ITN and Press Association), as well as NGOS (e.g. DEC and Médecins Sans Frontières).

In October 2015, Newstag won the prestigious ‘Best Startup’ award at the TVB Europe Awards, hosted by respected industry publication TVB Europe. The initial interest arose following a press release issued by tpr media earlier in the year. Following this achievement, the tpr media team met with Henrik and Camilla at The Hospital Club for a full briefing about Newstag’s shifting direction and outlined key storylines to be developed in the run up to the launch of the platform.

Later in the year, Newstag’s selection as a finalist for the 2015 WAN-IFRA awards provided an opportunity to remind UK press about the platform’s recent achievements and developments and to explore angles and opportunities.

Through this process, tpr media researched the latest journalism and contacted over 50 high-level technology press and media contacts to arrange face-to-face conversations in London with Henrik Eklund. These included both consumer and trade journalists (please find the full list on the final page of this report) and resulted in a meeting with freelancer Stephen Armstrong, who is considering pitching pieces to both Wired and Monocle magazines closer to Newstag’s launch.

Things are cheaper,faster or lighter, butthere is no model forcreating something thatactually pays forjournalism

Henrik Eklund, Newstag

"I think the media industry was disrupted 15 to 20 years ago and whileconsumption and volume are going through the roof, the sustainable model isfalling apart," believes Henrik Eklund, cofounder and chief executive ofNewstag.

That's what he is hoping to change by developing a mobilefirst video platformthat brings together news organisations, NGOs and brands.

Newstag launched in June and it'scurrently still in beta, letting userscreate a personalised news channelthrough what it calls 'tag streams' ortopics of interest, region or language.

Since launch, the site has beenaccessed in more than 200 countries,gathering nine million views in its firstmonth of going public. Sixty per cent ofthe platform's users are under 34 and77 per cent access it on their mobiledevices.

For now, only 12 news outlets havesigned up, including AP, Russia Todayand Reuters, but Eklund said the aimis to "have one from every region and, hopefully, from every country in theworld".

"You will have a news channel that will update 24/7 with sources from all overthe world about your topics, which basically means you get, let's say, a CNN,but it's your own."

He argued the media is mostly focused on adapting to new technologies, but"there is no model for creating something that actually pays for journalism".

"Two hundred hours of video are uploaded every minute on YouTube, and at thesame time, nobody is getting paid and the journalists who are really needed tomake sense of all this are actually getting pushed out of the model.

"Even though there's so much more – and you could get so many more anglesand better understanding – you get less," he told Journalism.co.uk.

Screenshot showing how users can create tag streams on Newstag

Newstag uses a redistribution model it calls 'power' to let users donate five percent of its revenue to specific causes and organisations, such as Oxfam, RedCross and the United Nations World Food Programme, dependent on howregularly they use the site.

The revenue comes from brands Newstag has signed up, who can sponsor oneor more tag streams created by users.

Eklund said this allows brands to "meet [consumers] in a new relationship", asthey can also donate money to the same causes supported by the users. Theonly editorial involvement the team has is tagging the video footage as it comesin and ensuring the tags are accurate.

"You have professional journalists telling their story and they can be associatedwith a type of value without the brands being the ones producing the content,"Eklund explained.

As people are currently visiting Newstag using their mobile browsers – what theplatform was intended for – a mobile app is also in the cards.

Eklund also said data consumption is an aspect to be considered, in order tomake the platform accessible even to users with smaller data packages.

"We will work closely with mobile operators and we could have packages todeliver our content and in that delivery process, we could actually pay for thedata so it doesn't cost the user any data to access Newstag," said Eklund.

Newstag partners with the United Nations World FoodProgramme for news that goes beyond the headlines

This Swedish startup wants to turn passive content consumers into active curators who have a real impacton the news. Hopefully this coupled with its latest partnership could expose people to news that gets

ignored by mainstream media

Newstag, the Swedish startup that aims to give content consumers a more active role in selecting thevideo news we’re exposed to, has partnered with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). Thispartnership will help raise awareness and highlight issues that are often ignored by mainstream media. Itwill also give the NGO access to an alternative fundraising channel by enabling viewers to support WFP

.causes through the Newstag site

Using media to make a real-world impact

The idea is to use media to make a real-world impact by giving organizations like WFP a platform to shedlight on stories that get no or little attention from traditional media. Why, for example, do we hear so little

about Boko Haram and its impact on African communities? Newstag hopes that through collaborationswith organizations like WFP, it can shift the media’s agenda and change the kind of content peopleconsume. In addition to WFP, Newstag has signed partnerships with Earth Hour, Birdlife, Lien AID,

.Singapore Cancer Society, Flora Fauna, and others

What differentiates Newstag from other media sources is that it aims to turn passive content consumersinto pro-active curators of the news. Viewers can tag content and also have the option to create and

distribute tag streams or news channels with handpicked content. This has an impact on the content otherNewstag users are exposed to as the “Watched right now” and “Top news in English” feeds, for example,are determined by users. But beyond Newstag, this can help expose other people to content they might

.not ordinarily be exposed to through social media

Newstag users also have the opportunity to allocate funds to any of the organizations and NGOs Newstaghas partnered with such as WFP. The more active a user is in consuming and sharing content, the morepoints they have to vote for an organization. Newstag will then donate a portion of their revenues to the

.organizations based on the number of votes they get

Interestingly, Newstag’s business model is based on what they call “contextual digital branding,” whichgives NGOs the opportunity to be featured alongside content that represents their cause. They’re also

exploring enabling viewers to donate to charities in the context of content viewed. A good example of thiswould be having the option to donate to charities operating in Nepal after viewing video news about the

.Nepalese earthquake

?What kind of impact will Newstag have

Since the startup publicly launched in March 2015, it has grown rapidly. On average they publish about350 videos daily from a range of sources including NGOs and news sources like Reuters, AFP,

Bloomberg, CNN, SNTV and TechStorm. There are also about 20,000 weekly active users viewing andsharing content from the site. The startup has big plans for the near future, which include both a mobile

and TV app, and is looking to raise a new round of funding in part to support these efforts. So far, thestartup has raised $1.5 million in seed funding from a combination of private investors, the founders and

Photo Credit: Pr, Screenshot

.VCs, and was awarded a Swedish innovation grant for $150,000

While this may be impressive, it will take users some time to adapt to the idea. In trying to foster a cultureof active content curators, they’re changing something fundamental about the way media has always

worked. Henrik Eklund, Newstag CEO, explained, “We see Newstag as a complement to traditional media.” – we want to help bring perspectives, relevance and sustainability to the crippled media model

Victor Alexiev, Newstag co-founder, reiterated this point. “We hope that we open the door for a more value-network-based business model thinking, as well as more concern around the impact of popularity-based

news reporting. We are not going after traditional models – we see an open space in video news, and wewant to claim it.” Alexiev went on to say that they see themselves as the Spotify for video news with a

strong emphasis on the social impact component. It will be interesting to see whether or not users take to.the platform in the long run

Newstag, United Nations WFP Sign Global Content Deal

TheUnitedNationsWorldFood

Programme (WFP) has signed up with Newstag, joining over a dozen global charities, NGOs andnon-profit organisations. The multi-level agreement allows the initiative to fundraise through theStockholm-based video news service.

Newstag's approach to the distribution and consumption of news brings together video news stories from professionalcontent producers around the world, including AP, AFP and Reuters, as well as top brands. By rebalancing thetraditional relationships between industry stakeholders, Newstag aims to make journalism sustainable through aproper funding stream.

The 'mobile-first' service enables users to create their own 'tagstream' (or personalised TV channel) in seconds,organising, consuming and sharing the stories they care about among their social networks using the latest web andmobile technologies. The variety of stories from trusted sources ranges from entertainment to current affairs.

These stories are available from a number of different perspectives, putting users at the heart of the experience andin complete control. The result is a platform that allows converging viewpoints to be presented side by side, creatingcontrasting frames of reference.

Alongside this, Newstag also offers users an opportunity to make a difference. Consumers can take action bysupporting causes and research they think are important. A part of Newstag's revenues are available for users toallocate to charitable, NGO and NPO partners, such as WFP. The more they watch and share, the higher their impact.

In addition, charities, NGOs and agencies joining this new media model will also be able to provide video news

content to users on international initiatives, using the platform both to fundraise and communicate.

WFP Head of Television Communications, Jonathan Dumont, says: "The United Nations World Food Programme hasan obligation to inform the public about what we are doing to help make this world a Zero Hunger world. As the UN'sfrontline emergency relief organisation we have an inherent relationship with news organisations by providing contentand information that helps them tell the humanitarian side of the story. Working with outlets like Newstag takes therelationship one step further by providing an opportunity for information providers and consumers to give back. Thatcan make a world of difference to those who need help the most."

Newstag Chairman and Founder, Camilla Dahlin-Andersson, added: "This link with The United Nations World FoodProgramme goes to the heart of Newstag's new media model – creating value while enabling charities, NGOs andinternational agencies to tell their story. This multi-faceted relationship will transform the role of users by providingthem with a unique opportunity to have real impact on the world around them."

Six hundred Euronews journalists, from more than 30 countries, report round-the-clock in 13 editions. The channel, which is received by 420 million homes in 158 countries, joins professional content producers and brands around the world on the Newstag platform, including AP, AFP and Reuters.

Newstag users can create their own personalised TV channel, organising, consuming and sharing stories among their social networks on the ‘mobile first’ platform.

Newstag aims to make journalism sustainable through a proper funding stream, rebalancing the traditional relationships between industry stakeholders. In response to developing news, consumers can take direct action by supporting relevant causes and research since a part of Newstag’s revenues are available for users to allocate to charitable, NGO and NPO partners, including as WFP, the Red Cross and Oxfam.

In recent months Newstag has rapidly expanded its network of commercial and content partners as it gears up to launch. Last month the platform, which is currently in public beta, announced that it will bepartnering with CNBC Africa – the pan-African financial and business news channel – on a multi-year deal granting Newstag the right to share and distribute CNBC’s news videos.www.newstag.com
