The UpTake is a citizen-fueled, online video news gathering organization.

Since its inception, The UpTake has advanced the frontier of news gathering through social media. TheUpTake.org is our online news channel focused on politics and the media. The site is built on a social networking and video publishing platform that allows us to scale our coverage and organize our citizen journalists. We use cutting edge technologies like cell phone cameras loaded with live broadcasting software to instantly publish our reports to the web.
