London bombing photo wins citizen journalism prize

An image captured with a cell phone camera moments after a bomb exploded on a bus in London last July has been awarded the first citizen journalism award in a competition organized by Nokia and Press Gazette. Second place went to a shot of the Buncefield oil fires. Ian Reeves, editor of Press Gazette, said "It's clear from the quality of the entries to these awards that citizen journalism, however you define it, is going to play an increasingly significant role in the industry."
