 Hello, and welcome to YouTube news for June 26 2015. I'm your host Alex, and I'll be walking you through some of the most important and interesting topics revolving around the YouTube platform first up YouTube has touted itself as the home of citizen journalism for a few years now But they just recently launched something called YouTube newswire a channel that provides a selected assortment of top news stories From around the world as they happen in order to do this YouTube has partnered with Storyful an agency that will be searching for videos as they're uploaded to potentially be featured on this channel And before they're uploaded all videos and stories will be verified by a group of Journalist experts called the first draft coalition that way all the news stories are proven to be accurate before they're actually Published in video form. I think this can be pretty cool But we'll have to see how things play out over the next few months What do you guys think do you think this will place more traditional news programs on things like cable television?

If you did you were part of YouTube's biggest live streams of all time The E3 live stream received 8 million views in just 12 hours Altogether, that's about 2 million hours of watch time over the course of a single day I'm not sure how the stacks up against twitches live stream stats for E3 But I'm happy to say that looks like we have some decent competition between the platforms already and last up a bit more Of a fun extra to throw in today. Have you checked out any of the 306 degree videos on YouTube yet?
