Africa to get citizen photojournalism

africaph.gif Dutch citizen photojournalism service, Skoeps, is to bring the participatory reporting model to Africa this year, reports journalism.co.uk.

"We will launch a pilot in four African countries later this spring," said Skoeps vice-president Hidde Kross.

... Kross would not reveal the destinations in the Africa roadmap, though a report from last week's Blogonomics event in Holland suggested Mozambique, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa might be in the frame."
