Blasting News is a fully independent magazine based on the social journalism principle and powered by the voices of thousands of people, called Blasters. Blasting News aims to disrupt the landscape of traditional journalism offering a decentralized, bottom-up, high quality information system, leveraging on crowdsourcing and continuously updated high-end technology and algorithms applied to online media.
 
Blasting News works in a very attractive market: the sharing economy. The rise of the sharing economy is a global reality, which is creating great value for shareholders and changing people’s behavior. Blasting News will be the next sharing player – the sharing journalism: everybody can become a reporter, be free to express one’s own ideas – and be paid for that. Blasting News aims to be the next Uber, the next Airbnb, disrupting the elite of traditional editors.
 
Started up in 2013, Blasting News counts on a fast-growing community of 22,000+ Blasters, and about 10 million monthly readers. Initially focused on Italy, it became the fourth biggest digital-native newspaper in just one year. In June 2014 Blasting News went live in 32 countries, showing an explosive growth.
 
Blasting News strengths are based on proprietary algorithms, a large community of people, a flexible gross margin model, and a proven team of 15 people, mostly made by people already proven to be successful in a previous start-up case.
