Ninua News Reader aims to create a beautiful news experience for non-tech-savvy users by reinventing the traditional press release model. It plans to generate revenue through contextual banner and paid ads within a social, mobile-focused platform led by a team of 3 engineers and designers, with backing from investors and advisors. This could potentially disrupt the news industry as online advertising did in 1999.
