Spy Media, another online news-photo marketplace. The last few months different websites were launched searching for business-models to gather and sell citizen photographs. The only catch so far seems to be integrity. How do you ensure a newsphoto is real? The only career at stake is the photographers virtual one. Can citizen photographers be trusted when the quest and benefits for the most accurate content are high?

Why would AP be afraid about people copying parts of their articles and linking back? Haven’t we passed this station with newspapers before? I think there might be a [...]

Ideas are everywhere, you just need to go out and find them

Everyday I commute to work. I can choose to go by car which gives me freedom, loud music, open windows, traffic jams and parking problems. Or I can go by train which gives me time to read books, make this blog post, do some work, have my neighbor sit annoyingly on my lap and hate [...]
