Jim Spencer On Mobile Video News & Newsy's $1.5M Funding Round

We talk to president and founder of Newsy, Jim Spencer, about the inspiration behind Newsy, mobile video news, the company's latest $1.5M funding round, and what makes Newsy different from other video news sources.

Online multisource video news site Newsy announced last week that they had raised $1.5 million in funding for mobile video news.  According to a press release, “The round of funding comes from a St. Louis-based private equity firm and will be used to grow the company’s editorial, marketing and sales teams.”  I had the opportunity to ask Newsy’s founder and president Jim Spencer a few questions about this latest $1.5M funding round, as well as some questions about Newsy in general.
