Newsmill

Proventus and the founders PM Nilsson and Leo Lagercrantz have sold their shares in Newsmill to Bonnier Tidskrifter.

The Company was founded in 2008 when Proventus and Bonnier AB joined forces with the founders PM Nilsson and Leo Lagercrantz to create a news-driven social media for debate on current affairs issues. Newsmill aims at combining the best aspects of social communities with the best of established editorial processes.

The project is based on crowdcasting, an editorially initiated debate that is being refined and deepened by the users. The activities are carried out on several different platforms with an ambition to become the first of its kind in the world.
