What's Hot/What's Not
GiveNow News Edition 8, 2010
WHAT’S HOT - Community-Funded News
Australians who hate what is fed to them from news websites now have no excuse to complain following the launch of a new not-for-profit news site.
YouCommNews.com uses the internet to crowd-source both ideas and funds for its news stories.
In a move that brings new meaning to the phrase “you get what you pay for”, interested citizens can choose a news story they’d like to see investigated and written on, or suggest one of their own.

A lso known as a Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder, Compassion Fatigue has been attributed to the saturation of images and stories of suffering in the media, which may cause the public to become cynical or resistant to helping others. Unicef’s marketing director says that the organisation’s outdoor media campaign, which uses stark images of children, is a bid to shock people out of their compassion fatigue and into action.
