DALLAS, Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- It's not that mainstream media can't get the job done. It's simply that today's Internet-savvy public craves more. More perspective on local, national and international news. More coverage of community news. More photos, more videos and more real-time commentary from non-mainstream media. And a growing army of citizen journalists online today are satisfying this craving, covering in news blogs a broad array of topics ranging from global human rights to hometown politics, hurricane Katrina to high school football.

Now, with the free Pic2Vid service from SiSTeR Technologies, news bloggers are enlivening their postings with audio/video news clips created quickly and easily using nothing more than a few telling pictures and their usual smart copy.

Pic2Vid is an easy-to-use web-based solution that automatically generates streaming video content with voiceovers from digital photos and text. Bloggers simply visit http://www.Pic2Vid.com , upload photos, add pan and zoom edits, type in copy or, if they prefer, use the system's phone-in feature, and within seconds Pic2Vid generates a video clip with voiceover ready for posting. With Pic2Vid, bloggers can also drag and drop photos appearing anywhere on the Internet for inclusion in their news clips.

"Social media is taking off and citizen news bloggers are leading the way," said Israel Alpert, founder and CEO of SiSTeR Technologies. "We're amazed at the quality and creativity of the news clips bloggers have created using Pic2Vid. Clearly, the system helps to unleash the creativity and imagination of these pioneers. We're thrilled to be a part of this remarkable phenomenon."
