The VeriCorder System for Journalism Schools

The world of media is changing fast. Journalists today need to know how to produce multimedia content, and post that content online quickly and easily. As well, training in Mobile Journalism is becoming an essential job skill. Reporters and producers unable to work in a multiplatform environment will fall behind, as employers shift toward online media, Hyper Local network systems, and convergence media.

VeriCorder has launched the world’s first comprehensive system that handles Mobile Journalism training; convergence media production; and allows journalism schools to easily and economically launch their own Hyper Local network.

VeriLocal – Launch your own Hyper Local Network

It’s a media network tool like nothing else in the world today. VeriLocal combines several components into a tightly integrated system that is cost-effective, easy to install, and easy to learn.

Embed VeriTV on your website, and turn your journalism school into a multimedia production house. VeriTV is a sophisticated, multichannel Video On Demand player that includes an advanced Video Content Management System. It can be networked over hundreds of sites, or offer dozens of channels and sub-channels on a single site. Post content created with our integrated editing apps or your existing means of content creation.

VeriTV can also be installed in such a way that the same system will serve your journalism department, the wider university administration, your student newspaper or broadcast station, local student government, and so on. Equip your students with the tools they need to survive in the fast-moving world of modern media content production and showcase your school on your own network.
