The internet has made it easier than ever before for private citizens to report tons of things online, like when a car chase breaks out or something else that is equally as newsworthy. And huge news cites like CNN love it when citizens send in reports, as they don’t have nearly enough reporters to cover all the stories that they want to cover. But contacting these news companies to get the story out can be a pain – unless you use an app like Meporter!

Meporter is an app that makes it easy to share news and any information that you may have on something that’s trending in a quick instant. Their tagline is that it’s “the beat on the street”, and it helps you to tell the story of what’s going on in your neighborhood using Google map integrated software. Just tap onto the map where you are and you can then enter whatever event is happening right now that you’re witnessing. You can then post the news you’ve spotted on sites like Twitter or Facebook or directly to some newswire sites!
