LOGAN COMPANY LAUNCHES WORLD’S FIRST GEO-SOCIAL MEDIA AGENCY “UNCHARTED”

LOGAN, UTAH, Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2008—Established in Logan by several Utah State University (USU) graduates, Great Divide Media, L.L.C. launched Uncharted, the world’s first media agency dedicated wholly to geographic social journalism.

With today’s launch of the new Uncharted at www.uncharted.net, the Logan team met its goal to launch a new platform in travel and geographic publishing, combining an editorial staff with participatory journalism and social media.

As the media industry continues to adapt to an increasingly wired public, Uncharted evolved from its initial concept two years ago of launching as a printed magazine to the newly launched “geo-social media” agency.

The new website invites and empowers web users to explore the world and share their discoveries with others through the use of web-based multi-media tools. This “geo-social journalism” approach allows Uncharted’s professional editorial staff to collaborate with the public as they explore the world together. Registered users not only surf content, but also upload their own stories, photos and videos for publishing.

By launching these capabilities, Uncharted became the first travel and geographic media agency that is wholly dedicated to geo-social journalism.

In addition to operating the website, the company also publishes printed photos and other digital media for purchase. Uncharted inspires its audience to explore the world, discover the uncharted, live an active lifestyle, and share the emotion and compelling stories from those experiences with friends and the public.

The parent company of Uncharted, Great Divide Media, L.L.C., was organized and established in Logan on March 27, 2006, by seven USU graduates who hope the project can help many people attain lasting friendships, exciting discoveries and memorable adventures across the world. The team now includes additional associates in Utah, Idaho, Michigan, and several developmental contributors in the United States, United Kingdom, Denmark, India and Nepal.
