Agence France Press takes stake in citizen journalism site
Posted by Evan Fell on November 29, 2007 at 11:27 AM
Agence France Presse has announced that it has taken a 30% stake in Scooplive, a French company that runs a citizen journalism platform for films and photos.
The site was started in 2006 as a way to allow citizen journalists to sell their videos and photos to media organizations around the world.
The move by AFP is meant to help its clients in the media field by getting them closing to readers and finding videos and content from citizen journalists to compliment their own production.
Following the 30% stakes taken by AFP and IAM, another French company, Scooplive is to be renamed Citizenside.
