BBC Moblogs
: The BBC invites you to send in your own news photos for publication on its web site. [via Michael Gartenberg at Jupiter]

On the one hand, this will be more reliable than ever expecting the audience to report for you — a photo is a photo; photos don’t lie, eh?

But the first moblog slide show — and the BBC’s first invitation — is to send in pictures from anti-U.S. demonstrations. It’s easy to see one side or another of any given fight taking over this channel by sending in more (or better) pictures.

So photos — just like real news — can be spun.

    Sorry, but the article says “anti-war protests” not “anti-U.S. demonstrations”.

    The BBC forgot some time ago that it was there to report and decided to try and make news.
    The consequence must be an end to its cridibility and an end to its UK govenment licence fee.
    For the BBC ‘Freedom’ became licence and licence will end.
