EDITOR'S NOTE: This series of blogs is my first of five blogs centered mostly on Fresco News app. There are certain places that this user is not allowed to mention or promote, but it is part of my investigative series.
PART ONE: THE CONCERN OVER DUPLICATE UPLOADS
As local news starts to skyrocket in costs in regards to video equipment and the maintenance of the equipment used for gathering, some local news organizations are turning to apps that allow for local stations to view and purchase video from users like this blogger. The series took several months of investigating, making inquiries, and taking any comments into consideration for this series of blogs that I was trying to compile.
The primary culprit and largest video app behind one of the first local news videos centered around technology that allows users to upload and let stations use their video is a freelancing app called Fresco News, based out of New York City. The idea behind the freelancing app is the person in charge of the operation, the CEO of Fresco News, John Meyer. Fresco has grown with the introduction of Fresco Gold, a rewards program which allows users to upload as many videos for any rewards like a press pass and extra bonuses.
Fresco has grown in popularity over time, but other local news apps were starting to come into play. That is only the starting point of where I discovered some problems - that problem is tied to when a user that attempts to upload the same content onto another app, which users will think it may be a good sell, but hold on for a minute.
Although no user is immune to using both Fresco and various other news apps, the user typically uploads only one or two videos to the Fresco app, however, the app is unlikely to make any extra change in a user's pocket for the Fresco app but will go towards the Fresco Gold rewards program. Although Fresco and other apps do agree that the content is exclusive to only one particular app, there are some chief differences between Fresco and other apps that I have noticed over time. I'll explain why Fresco and other apps do not mix in Part II of my series when I dig deep into another app that competes with Fresco. I also do plan to explain in the second part if the app has a comment on the Fresco Gold program as well.
Parts III and IV of my series introduces my viewers to more news apps that does make change, but encounters a major problem with the app. And Part V of the app shows my viewers how to handle different app requests for the same content (some of the content in Part V may be repeated from part II), and what should people know about before opening up a freelancing video app. I also discuss at the end of Part V about how I feel using the Fresco app since I've started using the app.
