Written by The Huffington Post co-founder Ken Lerer wants to build a digital video news website intended for those who watch Jon Stewart and like-minded programming (not CNN or Fox News), reports AllThingsD.
Although a name hasn’t been determined yet, the site will reportedly launch sometime this summer and will feature a combination of live-video content and taped reports, and a mix of professionally produced programming and amateur content.
This new digital video news operation will not be confined to its website, as it will look to tap the reach of social networks for distribution. AllThingsD says the site/service has started hiring production and back-end staff, but not potential on-air talent just yet.
