Some reasons why society needs See the News:
-According to CBS news, half of the population has smart
phones.
-According to Poynter Institute half of the population gets
their news from said smartphone or online source.
-Photography is a $10 billion industry according to ibis World
-Sites like the New York Times and the Guardian have seen
much success in recent years with the addition of a photojournalistic extension
of the publication.
-There is a need for experienced photojournalists. With the rise of Twitter and such social media sites in recent years, anyone
can “be a journalist.” Anyone with an account has the power to post a picture that may be misleading or fabricated and have it reach millions of people. The production of a site that features professional
journalism that does not mislead the reader is necessary.
This is just the beginning stage of market research for See the News, but I've had some trouble finding more valuable information. If anyone sees anything that could be of use to my proposal, please let me know!
