Crowdsourced news platform NewsiT.net just announced that it has raised $500,000 in seed funding.

Wittstock says she wanted to reinvent the newsgathering and publishing model after attending "too many conferences with a lot of moaning and not a lot of solutions."Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/YFt55HzXLTg/
