Social news sites such as digg.com and Newsvine have infinitely increased their audience over the past year, attracting audiences through a system of voting on their favorite stories. But sometimes democracy doesn't provide the best in news. To fill the gap between traditional editorial boards and the wisdom of the crowds, a social news site based on trust has been created. NewsTrust.net, which goes public today, strives to help newshounds find quality journalism. (...) Considering its quest for quality and the following it has already gathered even before its launch, NewsTrust will be a social news site to watch. In the end, all social news sites will play a role. But where many users might visit sites like digg for a look at the random news listed or for entertainment purposes, NewsTrust users will likely be those who want to see the mainstream press perform its role as a watchdog for democracy the best it can.</span><p><b>NewsTrust Rating: </b><a href="http://www.newstrust.net/stories/2510?ref=rss">3.9 average</a> - <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/stories/2510?ref=rss">4&nbsp;Reviews&nbsp;&raquo;</a> - <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/stories/2510/toolbar?ref=rss">Review It</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/">Visit NewsTrust</a> | <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/about">About</a> | <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/partners/feeds/rss">Sign Up</a> | <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/about/disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></p> Internet
