User-generated photo

Today on demorgen.be and hln.be, a picture shows the damage after a car accident in Belgium. The picture is obviously of inferior quality than a professional photo. As we can see, the photo is taken from the inside of a car passing by. The eye witness seems to be Sam Hermans. I think this is one of the first times a famous, traditional newspaper uses user generated pictures to illustrate an article and note the author's name. If anyone knows more examples of the use of user-generated pictures by traditional digital newspapers where also the name of the amateur appear on the site, feel free to mail me the links.

Daarvoor hebben we er ook al gegeven, maar ik ben de voorbeelden even kwijt. En ik ben te lui om te HTML-en...

Bedankt Jan! Trouwens, bestaat die 'word reporter' ook voor GVA?

Multi-media living continued

I witnessed a fire just a few weeks ago, snapped a few shots with my iPhone (didn't have my DSLR with me) and one of them ended up in GVA.

Kind regards,
