Cit-j platform Citizenside to trial UGC sales through AFP
Citizen journalism platform Citizenside is to trial incorporating amateur photographs into Agence France-Presse's (AFP) professional network. The pilot will see images submitted to Citizenside made available to clients of the agency, which is a stakeholder in the site, via its image forum - an online database of visual content from the AFP and its partners. Matthieu Stefani, vice president of Citizenside and founder of the original site Scooplive, said opening up user-generated content (UGC) in this way would help promote the value of citizen journalism to media houses. The AFP's 7,000 partners would be able to buy the citizen images with contributors receiving up to 75 per cent of the sale price, added Stefani. The source of the Citizenside images will be clearly marked as amateur content, he said. (Journalism.co.uk)
