New Australian online media portal launched

Scopical announced today the launch of its all Australian interactive online news and media portal. Delivering the latest in National and World News, Business & Finance, Sport, Politics, Tech/Media and Entertainment, the portal offers a competitive choice to the Australian market.

Scopical delivers up to the minute coverage in textual and image media covering a mix of national and world events, people, times and places. Scopical takes media from agencies, news wires and bloggers throughout Australia and will be the first major portal to offer a real financial return on media additions by all users.

Scopical hosts a key difference in its ability to harness user-generated content in news and media delivery and is the first to fully embrace this increased media form in up to the minute news coverage. Combining objective raw national and world news with the latest in text, image and video media, scopical.com.au is a breaking source of news and analysis for all Australians.
Everyone can now add up to the minute media anytime, anywhere - and starting November*, all users can add and earn for relevant news or entertainment content with up to 50% of advertising revenue being returned.

The company’s Head of Media and Strategy Mr. Elgar Welch said “Scopical offers a competitive, up to the minute source of news and media whilst providing the opportunity for real interactivity and financial returns on text, image and media content,” “The strength of Scopical is it’s ability to deliver live and extremely relevant media. A great deal of people now have camera phones, laptops, digital cameras, broadband access and an eye for what’s happening in the
news sphere, we can now deliver this content and reward all users with a real financial return too.”

The move represents the first major independent addition to the Australian online media market in a number of years. With a competitive daily offering, the portal, available at www.scopical.com.au will provide the latest in news and media coverage all day, every day.
Scopical collects and produces its own textual and image news content whilst posting live coverage from Australian based news agencies, bloggers, freelancers and individuals everywhere.

The company will embark on an aggressive development strategy with further technology and user interactivity flagged in the coming months.

The portal has correspondents based in the UK, New Zealand, North America, Russia, Asia and the Middle East, providing the latest in coverage of world events and adding an additional dimension to the portal.

Scopical will provide:
• The latest, up to the minute news and media coverage
• Additions from agencies, news pro’s, freelancers and ordinary Australians
• Harness user-generated content in news, media and entertainment coverage and beginning November give back 25% of ad-revenue for text and a further 25% for image and video/audio media
