Splash News & Picture Agency taps into citizen journalism

The Splash News & Picture Agency has launched it's own agency for citizen cameraphone reporters according to an article in The Guardian, "encouraging members of the public to "snap, send and sell".

... "Splash says pictures of Britney Spears' first wedding, taken by a witness, were sold for $150,000 (£84,000) while a photo of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Edmonton, Canada, was sold for $30,000. Colin Farrell "kissing a girl" in a New York pub made $4,500 after he was snapped by another customer."
