OMIRO is an all-video social news network that provides a platform for personal perspectives on issues that matter most to professionals, freelance journalists, online bloggers, filmmakers and OMIRO users. The social news network relies on its site members to generate original content called NEWSRIPs (news reports in person), to share informative reports, opinion discussion pieces and event coverage. Users may then engage in video conversations about these important topics.
OMIRO posts contracts for stories in demand and offers a cash payment for quality videos delivered on the subject. All video submissions should be no longer than two minutes and should be all original content. To learn more about OMIRO, please visit http://www.omiro.com.
About OMIRO

It publishes user-generated videos called NEWSRIPs that present current events and news to an audience seeking an innovative presentation of the issues that they face everyday.
