Zapaday: your open news agenda

Here’s a fancy open tool: Zapaday is a crowd supported  news calendar. Regular users can learn about upcoming events like big newsrooms did, and for free, while contributing with new events themselves. In their own words:

While news agendas drive almost half of your daily news, they are either closed or prohibitively expensive. We believe an open democracy needs free and open press resources. Can’t have closed, paid news agendas driving so much of our daily news, can we?

Start now, set your regional and topic preferences  and discover about the events that will for sure define the headlines in the near future.
