CNN Watch Out, QuePasa is in Town

Take a gallon of CNN, add a gallon of YouTube, throw in some oregano and salsa and sprinkle some MySpace and you get QuePasa.com - the new online citizen journalism designed for Latinos.

QuePasa Corporation announced today the launch of the first, Latino citizen journalism website QuePasa News Network (http://www.QPNN.tv).

Fueled by video contributions from QuePasa.com's citizen journalists, QPNN.tv empowers Latinos to upload video reports covering breaking news, politics, sports, human interest, and entertainment.

"QPNN.tv provides our members with a real-time opportunity to report and comment on, as well as witness events impacting their lives," said Robert B. Stearns, from Quepasa Corporation. "We intend to stimulate participation from local and national politicians, entertainers, and others who covet QuePasa.com's fast-growing, opinionated, and increasingly influential Latino audience."

Registered members of QuePasa.com can participate as citizen journalists by linking to QPNN.tv through the main page and selecting "News". Members will have access to Breaking News, Popular Playlists, Sports Videos and more.

QPNN.tv allows registered users to upload videos, share links with other members and grab video widgets (a capability that allows members to add QPNN.tv videos to member profiles and other personal sites).
