The Newshare(SM) system in brief:
Publishing Members are sought

Billable hypertext links
Newshare Corp. is establishing a nationwide electronic brokerage for the multi-media collection, editing, moderation and sale of time-sensitive, general-interest local news and advertising on a charge-per-page basis utilizing billable hypertext links.

The Newshare System will provide consumers with a one-bill source for all of their time-sensitive information needs which is based on open standards, is customizable and provides the maximum degree of control for indepent content producers.

Newshare(SM) Publishing Members and Contributing Members will provide material organized both geographically and by interest area. Each Publishing Member's users will have access to the content of other Publishing Members on a charge-per-page basis. Publishing Members will purchase a limited license to use the Newshare name, software and authentication system.

Content on publisher's machine
The Newshare system will permit content to remain on the server machines of independent content providers and yet be sold to the users of other, Newshare-affiliated content providers on a charge-per-page basis. Individual users will maintain a credit account with, and be "owned" by, their base Publishing Member, however.

Newshare Corp. seeks affiliation proposals from content producers such as magazines, newsletters, content aggregators, wire services, Internet service providers, bulletin-board services, weekly, college or alternative newspapers, small-market radio and television stations and individual reporters, editors, columnists or free-lance writers. Larger, traditional media organizations with a demonstrated commitment to open-standard, Internet-centered electronic publishing are also welcome to submit member or partnership proposals.

User customization planned
Unlike traditional wire services, "newshares"(SM) will go directly to consumers and will be customized by their consumer users both in content and in form of output (text, audio, video, printed, screen). Subscribers will access their local or regional Newshare(SM) member/provider via any Internet gateway using a variety of third-party, non- proprietary interfaces.

Newshare Corp. was established in September, 1994 and is currently negotiating first-stage financing. Its founders include a veteran print editor-publisher, a research university information-technology and networking specialist and an advertising/publishing industry manager/designer.

The Newshare System is expected to begin operation in the third quarter of 1995.
