Mission Statement:

Pixelbling is a Newsroom product that allows producers to quickly gather content from viewers (audience), or staff and then display it online, on-air, through Pixelbling web service. Viewers will be able to email in their content taken from their camera and video mobile devices from anywher in the field. 

Our focus is on News gathering of Pics and Videos from the viewers. We understand that in this age of consolidating media and shrinking Art Departments and graphic artist can be a challenge. With that it is an increasingly difficult for producers, AP’s, news staffs, and journalist to gett local and breaking news content on air in a timely manner. So our mission is simple: To provide a platform for YOUR audience to quickly and easily share the news and community events that are important to you and them.

Pixelbling will be a product utilized by News stations that allows producers to quickly gather images from viewers or from staff, manipulate the images to fit the needs of the show, and then to show it on-air using a full-screen display. Both my partner and I come from a broadcast television background, graphics and animation in particular, and understand the need for this service by News organizations. As stations scale back their staff members, there is an increasing need for a way to quickly and easily create content for the News, and audience input is becoming increasingly popular.
