Facts
60% of photographs are taken from portable phones equipped with a camera
43% of people use their cell phone as their primary camera
Most of these photographs are uploaded to social network sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
Camera Phones for Capturing News
Arguably, the camera phone first took on a raw witnessing role on Boxing Day 2004, when the tsunami struck in the Indian Ocean, killing nearly 230,000 people in 14 countries
Media outlets relied on footage from people on the spot, many of whom were using camera phones
Camera Phones for Capturing News
The camera phone is tiny, and thus relatively easy to slip into situations where authorities want to stop unofficial images or films of an event being taken
The images and films we take with camera phones can be spread around the world in seconds. Our experiences can now travel freely across borders
Camera Phones for Capturing News
Camera phones are not only useful to capture natural disasters, but also to help catch criminals
Free photo sharing app
Launched as an iPhone app on October 6, 2010
By December 2010, Instagram had one million registered users. As of January 2013, there are 100 million registered users
Instagram launched the Android version on April 3rd, 2012
More than 1 billion Instagram photos have been uploaded so far
Roughly 58 photographs are being uploaded each second
Instagram gains 1 new user every second.
News Outlets Using Your Photos
News outlets need to ask permission before using Twitter pictures
According to a recent court ruling, a news outlet violated the copyright of a photojournalist by taking photos of a 2010 earthquake in Haiti that he tweeted and disseminating them without permission
Twitter's Terms of Service require that news outlets first get permission before running tweeted photos.
