Mission
Connecting netizens and media with faster and reliable information.
Just by speed alone, social media can deliver updates faster than any conventional news media like newspapers or TV news programs. For example, in 2014, a big fire broke out on a highway in Shibuya, Tokyo. During the incident, pictures and videos of the scene were uploaded to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and other social media. Also some of people broadcasted the incident live. In contrast, conventional media will take more than 90 minutes in order to cover the event.
We believe the speed of the news delivery can save lives. When a disaster strikes, efficient news delivery will help people to evacuate and stay away from it. We are the bridge between netizens and the media, and will always provide a platform to deliver accurate and verified information by finding the needle in the haystack within the Internet.
