1,200 sign up for citizen journalism agency in UK
UK's Press Gazette: ‘Citizen journalism’ agency Scoopt signs up 1,200 snappers.
The power of so-called "citizen journalism" was underlined when a new agency for amateur mobile phone photographers attracted 1,200 members in the space of just a week.Scoopt now has members in 35 countries and is ready to syndicate their work to newspapers and magazines in exchange for a 50/50 cut. Amateur photographers can sign up and submit their images at www.scoopt.com. ...
I'll soon be announcing a new undertaking called the Grassroots Talent Agency with a different approach -- representing individuals as part of a broader community (videobloggers, podcasters, etc.) rather than targeting mobile phone photographers taking citizen journalism pictures.
