Citizen is Now Paying New Yorkers To Livestream Crimes
Citizen, otherwise known as "the worst kind of hyperlocal app ever created," is now willing to pay people to livestream crimes around New York City. The company is reportedly hiring people in the Big Apple at a starting rate of $25 per hour to run around the city and start streaming crimes to the web in real-time. From a report: The exact nature of these hires -- including their very existence -- is being kept mostly quiet by Citizen. Any public-facing recruiting for these positions is being done on the DL; one post on JournalismJobs.com from last week sought "field team members" to work for "a tech company with user-generated content." "You will be live-streaming from your phone straight to the app, covering the event as news," the job posting read. Citizen's name was not included anywhere in the now-deleted posting, according to the New York Post. The company does not post these positions on its website, either.
