Citizenside and FrontView Production launch FrontView Report

Citizen photo journalism outlet Citizenside has teamed up with FrontView Production to launch FrontView Report. The site is a collection of photos and videos from social, humanitarian and environmental activists who witness and record key events from around the world. "Some of them find in photography and video a powerful means to express and document their commitment and feelings," explains the summary on the site.

The photos and videos the site is designed for record "dramatic events and larger than life stories that need to be told". Uploaded photos and videos are then sold on to media companies via the site. Photos accepted have to meet the site's criteria; they must display a situation or activity with visual impact, and their content is more important than their quality. The site is a way for photographers, both professional and amateur, to profit from their work - increasingly difficult given the wealth of pictures distributed for free online.
