Rassd News Networkwww.rassd.org or RNN (Arabic: شبكة رصد الاخبارية), is an alternative media network based in Cairo, Egypt. RNN was launched as a Facebook-based news source launched on January 25, 2011. It quickly advanced to become a primary contributor of Egyptian revolution-related news. Applying the motto "from the people to the people," the citizen journalists who created RNN have since added a Twitter feed and launched an independent website dedicated to short news stories favored by an online audience. RNN is an organized citizen news network with four working committees: one for editing the news, another to support the correspondents covering Egypt, a third for managing the multimedia feeds and a fourth for staff functions such as development, training and public relations. Rassd, which stands for Rakeb (observe), Sawwer (record) and Dawwen (blog) was recently ranked as the 6th most influential media in the Arab world. Operating in both English and Arabic language versions, RNN is the most followed online brand in the Middle East and collectively has approximately one million Facebook fans and more than 137,000 followers on Twitter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thepeninsulaqatar.com/qatar/155688-al-jazeeras-english-channel-a-hit-on-twitter.html )〕 According to a study done by Albawaba, a news portal focused on Middle East and Arab World News, RNN's Twitter is the most followed brand in the Middle East.〔Press Release. "Al Jazeera English is the Middle East’s most influential media brand on twitter". Albawaba.com. 13 Jun 2011. Retrieved 22 Nov 2011. http://www.albawaba.com/al-jazeera-english-middle-east’s-most-influential-media-brand-twitter-378179〕 The success of RNN and its new social media model is evidenced in its recent local network expansion into Libya, Morocco, Syria, Jerusalem and Turkey. This achievement is not without controversy, however. The site's accuracy level has been called into question at times and the identities of RNN creators are unknown despite speculation that they are young Egyptians. RNN has endured closures of their Facebook profile and YouTube account as part of the attacks from private media, attempting to thwart their work and influence their content. ==RNN Reported== RNN has been a global source of Egyptian revolution-related news since its launch. During the early days of the citizen uprisings across the Middle East, major networks such as BBC, Reuters, Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya used some of Rassd's news and photos, and followed the network on Twitter. Three days after the online portal went live it was streaming video to MSNBC through its Facebook page. Then on February 5, 2011 Louisville's NBC-affiliate cited RNN, Cairo when it reported that President Hosni Mubarak had stepped down as head of Egypt's ruling party.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wave3.com/story/13975907/report-mubarak-reisgns-as-head-of-egypts-ruling-party )〕 RNN established a Ustream page on January 27, 2011, which, according to the analytic (statistics ) provided by the site, has had 283 total views and 220 unique views. 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「Rassd News Network (RNN)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
