CellJournalist - New agency for citizen reporters

Following Scoopt and SpyMedia, Cell Journalist, is the third agency to offer media outlets access to a vast array of news-related images taken by citizen reporters.

"When breaking news happens, it is much more likely today that the first images will be captured by passers-by with camera phones rather than by professional photographers," says Parker Polidor, President of Cell Journalist. "Cell Journalist aggregates images by camera phone users all over the world to give media services accurate and high-quality photographs." Press Release.
