#waywire, Cory Booker’s Personalized News Startup, Uses Video To Give Youth A Voice

"There's an oligarchy in the media and that needs to be broken up" Newark, NJ mayor Cory Booker tells me. So he's building #waywire, a news site that features original and syndicated video content, but that also lets viewers record and share their responses. "Traditional news sources aren't in any way talking to millennials" Booker says, so #waywire is designed to deliver them content from their perspective. It's now taking registrations for its upcoming private beta. #waywire's got big name investors including Eric Schmidt and Oprah, some serious digital expertise, and a mission to disrupt both traditional news outlets and the social networks that surface them.
