MaYoMo Invites Journalism Students to Participate in New 'Social News Network'

NEW YORK, NY, Jun 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
MaYoMo (Map Your Moments, www.mayomo.com), a powerful new social network
for mobile citizen journalists and the most inspired alternative source
for global, multimedia news content, today announced it is inviting
journalism students throughout the U.S. to contribute content to its
site. MaYoMo offers budding journalists new opportunities to make an
impact and contribute to a growing, global online community of news and
conversation.

"We're about creating the future of journalism," said Hristo Alexiev, CEO
and cofounder. "The MaYoMo site is a video-centric web platform for mobile
citizen journalism, whereby young journalists can develop networks of
colleagues and audiences for collaboration and sharing. Participation on
our site helps erase borders between countries for professional and
student journalists alike."

The news and media industries are changing rapidly, and MaYoMo is poised
to play a role in defining the future of journalism and in shaping the
careers of journalists. Traditional print publications are closing down
in record numbers, as readers turn to the Web for their news. MaYoMo
creates an opportunity for student journalists to report on news and
developments important in their lives.

How It Works

Access to all content on the MaYoMo web site is free. Students can easily
create an account, and start contributing content and uploading photos,
video, and other media assets -- from a variety of devices, including
video-enabled phones. Contributors who have met certain criteria can
create their own "channels" and make money from them. When a contributor
has a channel, he or she will have options to help them create better and
more viewed content.

MaYoMo's "shared revenue advertising model" will reward members with 70%
of associated advertising revenue, creating an entrepreneurial business
opportunity for professional and student journalists around the world. The
site brings together professional journalists, citizen journalists, and
students. Its membership already represents more than 100 countries,
ensuring unprecedented geographic coverage and the familiarity and comfort
of local language and customs.

Kim Garretson, a media professional who directs seniors at the University
of Missouri Journalism School in their final semester projects, said
MaYoMo is a much-needed transition service for graduating journalists,
"Today's alarmingly awful job market is leaving j-school grads out in the
cold. Many of the 40 seniors I worked with during spring semester have
few job prospects and can't even find unpaid internships. Several are
starting personal blogs and Twittering to try to demonstrate their skills
in their job seeking. But joining the MaYoMo team puts them in the global
stream of real news reporting."
