NEW YORK, January 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc., (OTCQB: JMDA) (the "Company" or "Jerrick"), a digital media and technology company, announced today the launch of two new verticals, The Swamp and Proof, to be added to its proprietary long-form social platform Vocal.
Vocal is a content distribution platform and publishing hub engineered for creation and discovery spanning verticals in health, sexuality, science fiction, the workplace, pop culture, and more. Aimed at connecting thoughtful and original articles with communities passionate about these topics, Vocal leverages the power of specific and dedicated audiences with a nascent content creation engine, and effective monetization.
The Swamp is a community exploring the murky waters of politics, while Proof encompasses every aspect of wine, spirits, beer and the like. Both will have Jerrick's signature combination of quality articles, videos and photographs; Vocal users are now able to contribute to both of these new communities. These two new additions to the Vocal network come one month after the launch of Beat and Feast, music and food sites.
Jeremy Frommer, CEO, said, "Part of the excitement around our Vocal platform is how quickly we're able to respond to audiences' interests and desires. Our rapidly growing community of content creators has already submitted pieces on politics and alcohol, with many more subjects to come. Following the release of the Vocal technology on November 30th, 2016, the network has experienced over one million sessions, setting a record for the new Vocal network."
Ten verticals now run on Vocal, each of which are built upon a storied history in the media landscape:
