YouTube has launched an open-source platform for news sites, YouTube Direct, to let them solicit content from the video-sharing site’s users.
YouTube Direct has already been trialled on some news sites, including Politico and Huffington Post, as ‘a virtual assignment desk’: news organisations can use the tool to request video content and then decide what clips they use.
