You're probably used to getting your news via social media. But there was a time, early in the age of social media, when news and social media weren't so deeply integrated. Instead, Internet users flocked to social news websites.

One of those websites was Newsvine. It was a creator platform for citizen journalists, and it paid people anywhere in the world for writing and sharing the news they witnessed.

But, in this episode of Web Masters, you'll learn about Newsvine's different approach to social news alongside Newsvine co-founder Mike Davidson.
