The Associated Press has tapped NowPublic.com to bring citizen content into AP newsgathering. The Vancouver-based NowPublic.com is a participatory news network with more than 60,000 contributors from
140 countries. In the early stages of the relationship, AP bureaus will work with NowPublic communities in selected locations on ways to improve regional news coverage. National AP news desks also may
tap the network in breaking news situations where citizen contributors may capture critical information and images.
