CiReNews is an innovative mobile App inspired, designed and developed by associates of Future Worlds Center and its technology transfer office, subsidiary company Ekkotek.

CiReNews is a highly disruptive new technology. Its need is imposed by plenty of research that repetitively implicates the media as root obstacle in the fight against political corruption and lack of transparency. CiReNews allows any active citizen to become a video news reporter simply using any mobile device. It also empowers all viewers to become critical evaluators. They can score any news with simple touch for Neutrality, Professionalism and Accuracy. The scores are used to rank reporters.
