Announcement RPAN is coming to WorldnewsVideo

RPAN is coming to WorldnewsVideo

I am pleased to announce that in the near future we will be activating the RPAN feature on our subreddit. We hope to open up a new niche for broadcasting on the RPAN community of reddit. I believe that RPAN live video may be able to bring an exciting and engaging way for redditors to interact with others around the world.

With the rise of amateur journalists covering important news events around the world - we at /r/worldnewsvideo want to offer an additional platform to have these events be brought to the greater reddit community. We plan on allowing a select set of pre-approved amateur videographers to be given RPAN privileges to conduct live broadcasts on our subreddit.

We are planning on having 3 different broadcast categories (subject to change):

  • "RPAN News broadcasts" from redditors who want to cover important events from around their area of the globe. These broadcasts would likely be conducted on a weekly scheduled basis depending on popularity and demand.
  • Interviews in a safe respectable manner. Though they are funny... that means no Eric Andre esque interviews. We would love to instead see interesting perspectives from around the world being shared with our users. This category will likely be named "RPAN Interviews." Interviews with policymakers or newsworthy individuals may be included in this category, but we are hoping that mostly regular everyday people around the world would be the ones being interviewed.
  • Live video of important events occurring around the world. Many have a phone nowadays and some the ability to livestream. This specific type of broadcast would be labeled as "RPAN Live" and would be extremely moderated with possibility of immediate removal based on our subreddit community safety guidelines. I will spell it out here so there isn't any misunderstanding: No pain or suffering of anything will be allowed to be broadcasted on this subreddit. If you are a known videographer that covers live events and would like to have RPAN access please contact the mod team.

Nothing is set in stone and there is a good chance we might make some adjustments here and there to ensure the quality and the safety of our community. If you want to learn more about RPAN and how to use it please read here.

Please stay tuned for more RPAN and subreddit updates!
