Digital Artifacts Inc. (VA) has officially launched its cutting-edge virtual platform, Hibe, after a decade of construction. Hibe stands out by seamlessly combining search, content discovery, and social interaction, offering a unique experience for users to explore, share, and engage with stories from verified traditional media and citizen journalists. The platform aims to provide a space where traditional media and citizen journalists can contribute to public information with clear accountability.
Hibe already hosts millions of news stories from over 20,000 verified sources across 120 countries. The platform’s real-time indexing capabilities ensure that content is delivered as soon as it is published, providing users access to unedited news in 47 languages and over 360 categories. Through a unique point-earning system, Hibe ensures that everyone, regardless of financial means, can freely access high-quality premium content.
“We envision making Hibe a place where diverse perspectives on current events enrich public debate,” said Jean Dobey, CEO at VA. “We are committed to fostering a culture of free and responsible expression to provide a platform for all voices to be heard.”
As a viable alternative to dominant social media platforms that have absorbed traditional media audiences and revenues, Hibe empowers publishers of all sizes to reclaim their earned audiences across social media. It also allows publishers to regain control over their content distribution and maximize revenue through a sharing program that supports ad-based and paid subscription models. In today’s era of misinformation, Hibe offers a trusted ecosystem for publishers and advertisers to ensure brand protection.
To coincide with the launch of Hibe, VA is launching a campaign inviting publishers and their audiences to experience a new way of content distribution and consumption online. For more information, visit www.hibe.com.
