Hocalwire is a platform for everyone to consume and generate news that is local and relevant. With the advent of technology, in most cases, people end up with an overload of information. And typically, one ends up reading about the news that is thousands of miles away but remains unaware of what happens in their locality.
Realizing that technology has enabled each one to generate news around them means citizens have the power to produce news that is factual and relevant to their locality. At Hocalwire, we strive to bridge this gap of connecting each individual to become a journalist and getting their content curated into factual news. Our mission is to use the power of citizen journalism to make way for what we call Hocalism, the 'Journalism 2.0'.
