AgoraVox is a French language website of news powered by volunteers and non-professional writers, created by Carlo Revelli and Joël de Rosnay in March 2005, offering items by single or multiple writers. AgoraVox was one of the first citizen journalism website in France, and is similar to the community sites ''L'Echo du Village'' (1998) and Indymedia ( 1999 ). Many more or less participatory sites have emerged since, such as ''Rue 89'', ''Le Post'', ''Mediapart'' and ''Atlantico''. It can be compared to the Korean site ''OhmyNews''. According to the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the Oxford University, "AgoraVox is one of the most prominent European examples of a citizen journalism site".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Survival is Success: Journalistic Online Start-Ups in Western Europe )〕 As of April 2009, nearly 40,000 volunteers were enrolled as editors of the French version. They were 70,000 in April 2011. At that time, the site had over 1900 volunteer moderators. An Italian version of the site was launched at the end of 2008. Many variations have also emerged: AgoraVox TV, NaturaVox, EducaVox, CareVox, Orser and SportVox . According to Google Trends, the site agoravox.fr has on average 50,000 daily unique visitors〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Google trends report for AgoraVox.fr )〕 and agoravox.tv has 15,000 unique visitors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Google trends report for AgoraVox.tv )〕 ==History== The company Cybion, created by Carlo Revelli and Joël de Rosnay, is behind this project and provides its funding. The AgoraVox project is the culmination of years of research and experimentation. The starting point was Carlo Revelli's research on strategic intelligence on the Internet: "Indeed, beyond the enterprise, which will revolutionize individual behavior on the Internet, it is this "watchman attitude", which is to keep your eyes open and to enrich yourself at all levels: whether to find unpublished information, check a rumor, enrich your knowledge, forge your beliefs, compare prices of a book, identify the surgeon who introduced the latest technology to treat a rare disease, etc."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Historique du projet )〕 Carlo Revelli announced the creation of the AgoraVox Foundation on the site of the newspaper. The Foundation, whose headquarters are in Belgium, was established on 18 June 2008 and state-approved by the Minister of Justice of Belgium, thus becoming the first media group of its type to achieve this recognition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pourquoi il faut aider la Fondation AgoraVox )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AgoraVox」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
