Instivate Announces the Launch of Instant Journalist

Seattle, WA November 7, 2007 - Instivate is excited to announce the official launch of a new online service that allows anyone to create their own news website to gather and report on the local events that impact their community.

Instant Journalist (www.instantjournalist.com) makes it easy for individuals or organizations to launch their own uniquely branded online news communities where people can help shape the news of the day by creating stories with video, images, and text. Instant Journalist's hyperlocal mapping tools allow any story to be placed in a specific neighborhood, giving people the ability to keep track of the news in their own backyard. In addition, Instant Journalist's rating, tagging, and commenting tools allow the site's readers to help filter and expand on the news submitted by other members of the community.

"There's thousands of news events every day that never make it into the traditional news outlets due to the limitations of time and space.", said Scott Durham, President of Instivate. "Instant Journalist empowers people to capture and discover all the events in their own local communities."

Instivate's unique InEdit content management tools make it easy for non-technical users to control and change the content on their Instant Journalist sites. In addition to offering a selection of pre-built themes to choose from, InEdit allows site owners to edit content directly on the page they're viewing. In-context editing, moderation, and drag-and-drop tools make it quick and easy for people to put their own unique stamp on their Instant Journalist site.

It takes less than a minute to launch a new site with Instant Journalist, and Instivate is currently offering a one-month free trial to allow people to take the features of Instant Journalist for a test drive. Subscribers can then choose from a range of full-featured packages starting at just $18 per month.
