I'm glad to see this. I've always thought that Rupert Murdoch's initiative for fee-based content online was a bit hypocritical, since his media enterprises accept citizen journalists' work without compensating the providers. Everyone should be compensated for their work, in addition, a simpler way of fining copyright violators should be created. Similar to a jaywalking fine, with a minor fee for our work being stolen from our web sites.

With the way media is today, expanding your mind and being open to new ideas and ways of expressing your work will help to get you paid. Looks like Demotix is trying to help photojournalists to do their job, I want to know more about how it works too, Aash.

We're a very different proposition to the one you describe! We aim to become the AP of freelancers – only bigger, quicker, deeper, broader, more local and more global, and a lot more democratic. We're not about single scoops (though they do very well when they happen), we're about daily sales of images and shortly video to the mainstream media. Individual photojournalists are having a harder and harder time of it. By bringing photojournalists, and (soon) video-journalists and reporters together, we not only help them make money with one-off sales, but we also pull them into a collective photo wire-feed that is expanding its reach to media outlets throughout the world. There's strength in numbers - we are far more together than the sum of our parts. You'll see a detailed article about Demotix by me in the forthcoming Nieman Report for March, but I'd also be happy - if you're interested - in talking with you to explain how we work. I'll be in NY for the whole of the week of 8th March, if you want to meet. All best Turi Dear John,

One point of clarification though - Cell Journalist transitioned the business model to provide tools for local tv stations/newspapers that allow their audience to send in images/videos and is working with 80+ local outlets across the country. Trying to build a sustainable business from one time events is going to be difficult for Demotix and others. The audience is very happy to share that content with their local media outlets. This citizen media space is changing quickly, so stay tuned! Good article.
