What type of news is it covering?
Demotix is a citizen journalism and photo agency. It
means that "freelance photojournalists" are able to
share their own content, including photojournalism,
and licence their photos to clients which can include
the mainstream media organisations like news
stations, and also charities and stock image buyers. It
covers any news really as anybody can upload their
own work and the people that work for Demotix will
sell their images and split the profits 50%.
What country is it based in?
Demotix is based in London in the UK, but the
freelance photojournalists covers "212 territories".
Where do the contributors come
from?
The contributors are the amateurs and
photojournalists who capture the news for the website.
The website states "You report. We sell." Demotix has
become successful for covering the news that the
mainstream media like news stations cannot reach.
When did it start operating?
Demotix was launched in January 2009. The website
reached fame with its user-generated report of the
2008/9 Israel Gaza conflict and the coverage from an
amateur of protests in London which also included an
image of somebody that died at the event, as a last
image.
Who owns it? What else do they
own?
The CEO of the website is Turi Munthe and the COO
is Jonathan Tepper. Munthe is an investor in OUYA, an
EIR in Seedcamp and a chairman and investor in
Planvine; he is also a writer, publisher, editor, policy
analyst, lecturer and journalist. Jonathan Tepper is the
co-author of a NY Time bestseller book on debt, a
book on the sovereign debt risis and a Wall Street
Journal bestseller; he is also a founder of Variant
Perception which is a macroeconomic research group
for asset managers, and is an equity analyst and a Vice
President of propiertary trading at the Bank of
America.
How is it democratic?
It is democratic as it is for the public to report the news
and it is not always the mainstream news, it can range
from the important headline stories on news
broadcasts to local news that the rest of the country
might be interested in.
How is it citizen journalism?
It is citizen journalism as it is the public created it and
there is no editor to modify and alter the news they
have produced.
