With the growing technology, it is getting easier to find news. But there are certain happenings that often goes under-reported. This is where Google’s Bulletin comes to picture. Bulletin enables the user to add photos, videos and text and share them instantaneously. Users can maintain some kind of live blog where they can update information in real time. They also have access to analytics data to know demographics and count of their readership which helps them to know about their content performance online. The best thing is you don’t need to worry about building up a target audience as Google handles it by itself.
Every uploaded and published content, image or video are accessible on Google search, which means that every detail you upload will be made public. Apart from the content being public, it can be shared on various social media platforms and instant messaging applications via links.
One of the most important detail google is concerned about is the authenticity of the content shared by self-declared citizen journalists. Currently, Google is having Bulletin’s test run in Nashville, Tennessee and Oakland, California. Interested people can fill their early access form to get enrolled.
