NewsLook Launches Free Personalized Video News App for iPad
Recently Launched Global Video News Services Now Empowers iPad Users to Create Custom Video Channels from 50+ Curated Worldwide News Sources
NEW YORK, May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NewsLook, a 24-hour global streaming video news service, launched its first iOS app for the Apple iPad today at paidContent 2012, one of the digital industry's anticipated events. A first of its kind, the free NewsLook app offers any "newshound" the opportunity to tap a vast, curated library of news video from over 50 sources including Associated Press, Bloomberg and Reuters, to create their own custom channels for viewing on the iPad, the ubiquitous tablet computer with an estimated 100 million sold since its launch in 2010. NewsLook's free iPad app is available from the App Store on iPad or at http://www.newslook.com/ipad.
"I wanted to be able to easily see what was going on in the world and watch what was of interest to me, which is the reason I launched this service and now this app," said Fred Silverman, a former CBS producer who is the CEO and Founder of NewsLook. "Our NewsLook iPad app offers unprecedented personalization and engages users by greatly streamlining video search and discovery, enabling them to weed out unrelated content and get just what they want, from trustworthy sources."
"Users can customize video 'channels' to fit their interests - sports, politics, lifestyle, fashion, art and entertainment," continued Silverman. "They can even target down to a specific type of interest such as the name of a specific celebrity or '2012 presidential election.' A devotee of current events or culture can create a channel, sit back and watch the videos they love. Like politics? Add it. Don't like celebrity news? Remove it. It's that simple."
NewsLook curates and publishes 150 videos daily in real-time and maintains a vast archive of over forty thousand videos. This content is also available across a variety of platforms like Sony BIV and Google TV as well as via seamless syndication. NewsLook's turnkey distribution platform incorporates content and data management, transcription services, publishing and monetization tools as well as robust APIs for digital publishers.
