Born on the 4th of July: What's red and white and read all over? A new brand of freedom of the press.
RedPaper, launched on Independence Day 2003, is the world's first collaborative newspaper filled with articles for sale written by people from around the world.
With backing from Adobe Systems Venture Capital and Granite Ventures (previously a group within Hambrecht & Quist), this innovative media venture is an interesting convergence of several new media trends -- weblogging,
nano-publishing and creating markets for
paid content.
From the perspective of naming and branding, RedPaper plays on the past tense of the verb read and the color red, associated with a society of the people, for the people, by the people. In these days of
media concentration in America, we wish everyone a media Independence Day.
Watch for RedPaper to
make news!
