Medium
Biz Stone and Ev Williams, (the founders Twitter) founded Medium in 2012. Medium is a blogging platform consisting of paid and unpaid contributors. Chanel Gold (a writer) explains the niche of the platform perfectly: “Medium is a great space for people who want to share ideas, information, and awe-inspiring stories. Everyone has a story to share, and Medium offers a venue for these stories to be heard. That sort of collective sharing is what the internet needs and has really lacked until recently.” There are several, very well-known journalists on Medium. Through an algorithm as well as editorial curation, posts get spread through the internet, allowing anyone with something to say, as long as they have a Twitter handle, the chance to have their words read and posted to other sites such as The Huffington Post.
